The thing is, the Metro should be reasonably competitive in Class A1 of the Scottish Championships and it is cheap to run. But it is rough around the edges and needs a bit of work to get through the MOT.
Having said that, it is quite solid and if I can get motivated to work on it, could be a great wee car. Trouble is, I just haven't taken to it yet.....
So, I've booked another test day at Kames on 31 October and I'll be able to go there in style on my new trailer:
I spent a couple of hours going through some of the spares I got with the Metro. I've been able to identify most of the parts but there are some that I have no idea what they are. I'll need to take some photos and post on the Metro Power forum. Here's a small selection:
Return to the MX5 fold. It's good to be in a "busy" class with lots of other people to compete against. I'll be there again and I know of two new guys who want to join the fun and as far as I know most of the people who took part this year will be back for more though Paul is going to compete in Class 2 (rather than 2.1 MX5s) as he's doing a lot of work on his Mazda to make it competitive in the wider two litre class and doesn't think it is within the spirit of the HSA class to enter there. And Tony is moving on to another challenge - maybe mod prod - he hasn't decided yet. Anyway, I say come back to the fold. BTW Tony's championship winning car is up for sale - don't know how much he wants for it though.
