If you were having trouble, you should have emailed me - it's usually something relatively minor.

Anyway, glad you've made it.

Well, it's a Type 48, so not far off!
But it's also obsolete and not a Golf, Beetle, Bus, Polo, Passat etc, so we don't mind hearing a bit about it.

What's with the hangar background?

Hi Dave,

The hanger is one at Lands End Airport.

The pics were done about four months ago, the car has changed loads since!
Should be at Volksworld again this year.

My notch has been off the road for about two years now!! I've had other cars on the go
Including a rebuild of the Volvo Amazon (I drove it into the back of a Taxi) Plus other random stuff.

I have just got round to getting the engine sorted, thanks to Andy Ham's skills not mine.

It looks like this again. :D

Sicknotch will rise again.

Hell yeah!

Cheers! :D

Andy is a legend and yes his rag will be stunning.

Matt Keene built the engine a few years back with Ben Lewis doing the detailing. I had loads of problems with the engine a couple of years ago (very long story) and it has been gone through by Andy. I'm now a new clutch, 009 Dizzy and new exhaust away from driving it again after two long years.

Thank F*CK.
