Thanks all
Rob, it's good to know there are others not too far away. The Grasshopper wouldn't be a bad drive for me. Could take a blast over Biggin Hill to get there too. I can't make the Abbey BBQ, unfortunately, but might make it to JAE on the Saturday instead. I'm guessing the pits at Snetterton are freely roamable on Saturday so I'll get on the thread for it and see if I can find those heading down.
Keethos, it's all talk for now but it's the result of years as a repressed modder! I've been a huge motorsport fan all my life and got sucked in by Max Power in its hey day too. I've never had the money/time/confidence to do anything to previous vehicles but the GT86 seems purpose built for modding so I'm not going to turn the invitation down
