I always felt what was missing from my sevens was a useable glovebox or indeed draw…!

This thread is getting silly! So here's a shameless bit of self promotion as the race season approaches. This is me keeping Davey Walton at bay at Donington in 2018. He's an ex Caterham Vauxhall race champion of the 90's. He proceeded to overtake under yellows for the safety car shortly after - argh.

What absurd roll over protection! And they'd be better off with a HANS device, that hit from the rear must have hurt.

and enough from me for the day, but Andy and his Lotus polishing fetish has got a lot to answer for. It's infectious

I only ever polished my Seven once (spent ~ an hour) - & it's probably the only car I've ever polished !

Well maybe the tale is somewhat exaggerated!

Lovely 205 1.9 Gti spotted today.

Either never been used or recently restored.
