Not sure where the Senator went, and yes, I've heard that those two were being rebuilt.
I contacted Nigel Garrett, and he's not up for it - as his was a "Modified Saloon". Shame, because it's a darned quick Rover. As for the Starlets, the last I remember of Stuart Moreton's empress built carbon fibre panelled version was it being for sale as a rolling shell, and had been used in the Scottish series based at Knockhill. Nathans is up for sale as he's heading down under. Does Paul Soames still have his Mini? If so, are you able to contact him? |

I am not loafing! I am still in Bedfordshire until the end of March! My car is at home in Scotland! When I go home I get on with it! After 4 days, it was stripped down! Now that I have quit my course at uni the progress should get quicker, unless I get a job! |

Steve Dillon and Les Lyons could probably both be contacted through the CTCRC (Stacy Vickers and Chris Griffin both post on 10-tenths), as that's where they were out to play last year. I think Steve's probably still got the hospitality unit keys!
Wasn't Gary's (Carrera) BX originally a thundersaloon? My main memory of the thundersaloons were the hordes of starlets. Seems that a lot came over from hot rods, then moved on to eurocar? |

Id rather stick to the non-formula 1 stuff at the moment, till all my friends get jobs! Most companies wont want me because I didnt finish the course! Do you know where the Super Aguri adverts are? Not on their website or on Autosport.com It was John Muir who owned the Blue n Green starlet that raced at Knockhill, with a cosworth engine in it, 2 sports n saloons championship wins! Now for sale for next to nothing with no engine! |

Probably not. Some are working on their cars I guess.
But you never know, they may come back to hunt you. |

No, you didn't kill the conversation. I'm a little busy at the moment, work's gone potty in a different area, and I don't have time for the forum like I used to.
Just contact Super Aguri, tell them what you're skilled at, and go from there. In my experience, they like people who take the initiative when looking for work. Worked for me in the past. Teej, regarding your comments, I'll have to PM Stacy to see if he can contact them on my behalf. I asked Nigel Garrett, but he wasn't up for it. Eddy, I wasn't drinking beer. Honest. Car is as makes no odds, ready. No leaks (only the driver!) Rob. |

Not exactly a thundersaloon but it did run in the championship in '93. Usually qualified between 24th -28th. Never finished outside the top ten apart from 1 dnf at Combe. Easy money! I'll email Steve Dillon. Paul Soames works down the road I'll pop in and have a chat. Last edited by John Turner; 24 Feb 2006 at 19:51. Reason: Just to enclose quote! |

Top man, many thanks.
Keep me informed. Once we hit critical mass - about 25 confirmed cars, rather than speculative, I think it may be possible to make some progress. Rob. |

O.K, and we really hope you get one, but, as you say, this is way off topic, so let's leave it at that now, please!
