Bit disappointing in that we only have 6 cars at this point for the saloons. Interesting as that is the same number of BMW E30s for their very first race meeting, perhaps there is potential after all. Some of us are burning candles at both ends to meet the day.
Yes the Roycroft Bugatti has gone "how it was so it shall be" and is driven to the circuits as it was

Hoping for some fine weather, interesting racing, and meeting some roaring season members. Well worth a watch you guys.
I hear, from a usual reliable source, that the Roycroft Bugatti has been refitted with the Jaguar engine that it did so much of its racing with.......can you imagine driving that thing to the south island to compete, cos this is what Ron used to do. An intrepid motorist if ever there was one. And we moan about towing a trailer down there!!!!!!!!

Time to re-vitalise this.
For those wondering, yes the class is going ahead. We are slowly getting more cars and owners who want to play. Small beginnings but who knows where it will go. There may be a few at Pebblebrook hillclimb, HD have offered to host more races at some of their classic meetings (really need at least 8 on the grid) and the next HRSCC/VCC meeting at Taupo in December is an opportunity.
Next "new" car for preparation just arrived here, a Peugeot 203.
