Not had time to do another track day but couldnt resist the opportunity for a few pictures taunting the enemy

Glad the cars behaved and the weather was good, thanks for the pictures and the words Dave, especially the Marc high shot attempt ..lol Some lovely 800's on display, maybe the magic 30 was going to be difficult simply as there arent many about now. I apologize again should have been there but it was...

Apologies for not being there tomorrow it looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. Hope it all goes smoothly and there is a good turn out of 800's, get lots of pictures for us stuck down here to make us regret not being there. Kate, that is dedication and you put the rest of us to shame. Good l...

The Dunlops are about as good as you can get before going to a full race slick, used for several classic and single make race series as the compulsory tyre. I did go to Castle Coombe once with the Dunlop hard compound D01J's on the front and some budget new performance road tyres on the rear, even i...

I absolutely love that video - honestly, I could watch it for hours. My other half thinks I've lost the plot, sat here watching a Rover like mine run around a track, but it's genuinely great to see. Nice driving too, would love to take mine out for a half-hour of getting to know the track etc. Than...

not bad at all, when you were chasing hard at the end behind the gtr, you corrected a couple of times on the corners, looks like minor oversteer, what pressures you run your tyres, and what tyres did you run. Thanks midnite, I think that was a bit of me and a bit of too fast into the corners, the s...

Thanks Dave and Tom.
The red switch is for the multi relay unit and next to it is a manual fan switch, it the heat of the chase I knocked the fan switch on and almost switched everything off, approaching Druids I flicked everything back up where it should be.

I used a different camera this time but forgot to narrow the angle in an attempt to create the Tony Pond view, I did use the blue gloves and the Esso Unleaded sticker in honour of the legend though.

Back at Brands Hatch for a track evening on the Indy circuit. Time to test the recent repairs and mods. The brake judder is fixed at last, not the slightest hint from start to finish, although now I suspect the brake fluid is overheating after a few hot laps causing a long pedal, after a cool down t...

They never got used and the N/S if you look carefully is an air intake for the engine air filter

Thanks Dave, one day with a bit of luck the owner of that plate might appear.

Thanks Marc, I had bit of time on my hands this week, a new camera and the sun was shining so took the Rover out for a spin and got some pictures. The first one is inspired by one of your shots, I climbed up onto a tree stump to get one of those "Marc" high shots. http://rovervitesse.com/Leith%20Hil...

Great work and dedication, this is how all older cars should be treated, somethings not right fix it, simple.

Great car, love the colour with those wheels looks right.
That is some spec and engine work, cant believe we never knew about this car before, how has this been kept secret. We need to know more lots more details, the engine bay looks to have plenty of original ideas and custom parts, love it.

Having another go at making some space and claw back some of the £'s absorbed by the Vitesse, so have listed some testbook leads, boxes, amp clamp, vacuum/pressure tester, air bag deployment tool, Rover repair manuals and electrical manuals and old Haynes manuals for now. There are a few more small ...
