Now that gives me a goal.
Started taking the engine out of the 8 last weekend so I can put my nice rebuilt original engine back.
Was a really good day out last year.
Cheers

I've just been told the TR7V8 rally has been cancelled due to only one definite entry so far.
What a terrible shame.

It was a great event last year, cant understand why there were so little interest in competing. I do know of one driver who was going to enter nearer the date. The organisers say they will try again sometime in the future.

All,
I agree this is a great shame and was looking forward to going down to goodwood and seeing 10 TR7 V8 and hope another year it's reinstated again.

[:(][:(] That's a real shame, I was so looking forward to the event after all those tales of how good it was last year.
<s>Kinda takes the edge off my interest to attend, will there be any TR7 taking part, does anyone know?</s>
Answered my own question - just checked the website & it shows just one TR7V8 entry of the 50 cars.

Off-Topic I know, but I need educating!
How do you write text then score it out?
Just wondering.
