Hi Richard,

You beat me to it,

Well done Excellent write up with good mentions for Mazdarotaryclub in the write up, indeed I think the guy doing the write up is new to Banzai as its very good.

This issue is probably the best yet.

It\'s good to see MRC members getting so much coverage in the mags receiving recognition for all their hard work on their cars over the last month and in the coming months we can all look forward to "Tyson" and Pete Sparrow\'s cars being featured also.

yes it was dans. I got the facts a little wrong, he didnt blow it up racing an SL55, that was a seperate incident but when it did go it was because of over boosting.

anyway, i would have scanned it but my printer is an all in one job and wont accept thick books, lol

it was a lucky find on ebay, someone selling a few brand new ones BIN. I was told by someone on here it looked like a biddy club replica. It was real carbon and weighs absolutly nothing, and the best bit...... £120 delivered:chat

It wasn\'t Dan Nortons old car. It was Dan Fearnley (i.e. me)

I\'ve already spoken with Richard about it as i\'m not overly happy with one or two bits of the article, but at least it got a feature :)

As i\'m at home now, I can be a bit more detailed. As Richard has said, it wasn\'t blown up racing an SL55 and it appeared to have cracked a tip after a reasonably leisurely drive. It then let go a short while later which was apparently the part of the tip exiting via the turbo.

This was it, as I sold it

I\'m glad it got a feature, but it would appear that Banzai have misunderstood Richard on a few details.

As everyone else has said, a great looking car, and (inaccuracies aside!) quite a good article! It says you are looking to go WAFU, how far into the application process are you? I am currently doing my MESM training at Sultan, if you have any questions about the RN/ AIB (assuming you havent already done it) or Dartmouth, feel free to ask them.
(I guess that goes for anyone else as well!)
