What brake set up is fitted to your car Phil.
I bet the engine feels awsome when on the power, pulls like a train.

Great catching up with you today Phil, it's always a pleasure to talk cars with someone who really knows what they're talking about.
As promised, here's the short video of your car running -
The Norfolk summer barbecue for all Sammio enthusiasts idea is long overdue, we'll have to sort some dates out...

Three poached eggs on toast for breakfast this morning Phil. Thank your Bantams for me they were the freshest, tastiest eggs I've ever had.

Phil - I'm not sure how I missed the modifications you made to your bonnet to accommodate your engine mods.
But I'm glad to hear everything is working well.
Good luck, Paul.

Nice pic Phil.
Great fun this morning. I've always enjoyed driving my own Spyder, but it really brought it home to me how good these cars are when I checked my rear view mirror on the twisty bits on the way to Wells and saw your two cars following. Just an awesome sight, straight from a 50's race track.
I can't get my phone to connect to my computer today - I think they've fallen out over something the phone said about lap-tops - but I'll post some pics up myself once I can get them downloaded.
See you soon.
