Been busy while away :)

Been running a few hillclimb sprints this last couple of months.

Had to try to get my sanity back after a bloody hectic couple of years.

Car is now sponsored and am competing in Scottish Hillclimb Championship rounds at Fintray in Aberdeenshire tomorrow and Sunday.

Last run at Kames was good fun.

As this is what I'm facing - the competition and the (very short) hill.

And my axe.

I mean.. go Matra!

Day one and only lying 6th :(
I NEED RUBBER ....... not the first time I've said THAT in my life :)
Not fast enough, but MAN it's lookin good :)

some serious competition in the looks and performance front tho :(

Full spaceframe race Escort and a pristine 308GTB hillclimb special

Evidence that it IS hard work making progress on a tight hillclimb in the RX-8.
Windows open to try to cool down !

yes, Only because I forgot to close them on leaving the paddock :) BUT I'd done worse the run before .... used the aircon to cool me down - and THEN left it on for the run - DOH!

PS: Help my chances of contuned sponsorship and go to [url="http://www.buyakilt.com/#LCS"]Kilt Outfit Packages | Scottish Kilts | Highland Dress[/url] :) On top of that you might want to connect with your Scottish-ness ( everyone has it ) and get a hip flask if you dont have the legs and "tackle" to wear a kilt :)

haha of all the sponsors you got one so suited to you matra :D
btw have you seen any footage of the RX-8 SP at targa tasmania this year?

NO, had read that the RX-8 had rear-ended a GT-R while running front of field pace :(

You got any good links ?? Would love. Ta.

Just received MSA Scrutineers newsletter. Effective immediately all 3-rotor and above wankel engiens are BANNED from events :( Also the multipliers are changing to make the rotary less competitive . DAMN. Might affect the route I'm taking with this :( ( not that I was ever going 3 rotor :) )

Nice footage, Matra. And nice kilts ;)

That's a cool site. I may have to pick up my clan kilt one day, so I'll keep that in mind.

Where are some pictures of you in full kilt and gear?

Fireproof racing kilt? I hope so..

^^ nah, thinking of taking FIA to court over infringing my right to wear my national clothing.

All hinges on the fireproof underwear requirements.
"Dont wear any" isn't deemed an acceptable response seemingly :(

Have ridden my motorbike in a kilt tho' :)
