Hi John,
I was going to send you another one of the 2006 Stoneleigh show which shows a number of Wildcats lined up, but the pick exceeds the number of bits you can handle. Not sure how the url(?) works but I could send it e-mail if I had your address I was going to caption the pick 'Is this you looking into my car? You could then perhaps fiddle with it and post it with the other one, however you do that?:

Thanks for the link John I have uploaded the better quality pic on the wildcat gallery.
That’s mine with the caption 'plenty of instruments'. As the editor of the Club magazine I am always looking for gizmos to add to the car to make it more interesting. For example, the design of the doors means that water entering the door pools on the inside skin of the door rather than the normal outside skin of the door so water cant be drained from the door unless you want to drain it into the car. I got over this by fitting a washer bottle motor in the door which pumps it from the base of the door (against the skin) to a pipe set into the outside skin of the door. I have also fitted automatic spots that come on when you enter heavy shade or enter a tunnel. Two heaters one for the tootsies and one for the windscreen. Electric windows and door mirrors etc etc. I never write about fitting or changing something without actually seeing if it works first. I changed my original donor Pinto to a 2.6 BMW fuel injected 525series engine which has increased its performance considerable.
I will be at Stoneleigh again this year why dont you pop over to the Wildcat area and give me a nudge.
