In October this year we have the Algarve Historic Festival and no doubt in future years too. This years ev...

Re: Donnington

We would be very happy to hold the British Grand Prix here at our nice new F1 approved circuit in the Algarve. It is not flat or boring but has lots of blind brows, double apex corners and ups and downs like a rollercoaster ride. It also has a grandstand from which you can see 75% of the track. And ...

Re: V8 Idle Issues

Hi Tim

My red monster also suffered something simmilar I recall. I think we ended up changing the hot wire thingy but I'm sure Chas will recall.

The 4/4 issue is different and more a 'by design' by Ford and was to help stop transmission shunt on reps Mondeos's (I think).

Cheers :D
