The old livery was based on a 1967 Eagle Weslake which in the eyes of many was one of the most beautiful Formula 1 cars ever made. It also featured in the racing simulation Grand Prix Legends which is responsible for my addiction to racing. To keep in with the Eagle theme my car also bears

In our constant pursuit for improvements we have come up with new race seat which vastly improves upon a number of key areas found in a traditional race seat. Comfort When you were last sitting on the beach how comfy were you? Now you can take the comfort of your beach holiday into your race car. No more

I wouldn’t normally post anything about the van, but this one deserves a mention for the insanity of it all. At 140,000 miles the van required it’s second timing belt change, a job which is normally quite expensive but a lot cheaper when you have an Ian around. We had a rough idea of what

I’ve never really seen the point to blogs before – why would you want to read about someone else’s life? ‘Today I made tomato soup.’ Fascinating. It’s like Twitter, but with 10 times more words, which makes it 10 times less bearable. But then I discovered project blogs where people document building something silly like
