Hope you had a great time at the rally in spite of the rain. I always ran my Morgan +8 all the year round with the roof down, it was great.

Found a shot of me in kilt talking to someone about my engine.

Nice car, nice kilt! Sounds like a fun day, to me.

Thanks, That was my first homemade. My others are MUCH better, especially after using Barb's book and talking to Mr. Newsome.

The car is also largely home modified, in memory of Jim Clark, great rave car driver and F1 double champion (63 AND 65). He was so good that he felt a 45 second lead was a "comfortable" one, which he achieved practically every race. It was just a matter of if his Lotus broke or not. If he had the reliability of a Schumaker Ferrari, Clark would have been Champion more times (including 62, 64, 67, and 68 and beyond, if he had lived). Not bad for an 8 year career!

Fortunately, for me, Miatas are more reliable (in fact-> hard to kill), but it's not making 200 horses out of a normally aspirated 1.5 or weiging 900 pounds (with added weights), of course.

By the way, there were about 450 cars there.

Thanks again,
