Rally focused motorsport content. Sharing the process of building, maintaining, and running the cars in competition. That car has long since been sold.
Currently preparing a Mazda MX-5 project for 2026 rear-wheel-drive fun, documenting progress, challenges, and the journey along the way I originally made this page for users to follow my progress through the 2016 MSA Asphalt Rally Championship. That went pretty well and Lee Bezuidenhout and I were crowned class B9 champions. Now with a family and a house to look after this page is more about follo

It’s a sad day to wave goodbye to the Peugeot today. All in an effort to sort out the fleet and get rid of the tons of parts I’ve accumulated over the years. Hopefully will see some use in its new home.

Slow progress on the MX5 but something at least! Rear subframe dropped as it was covered in surface rust. Blasted and then a coat of Buzzweld rust encapsulator to seal it up. Next step is some black.
Have poly bushes for all of the suspension. Some of the bolts were again welded in by corrosion 😵💫.
So back behind the wheel for the Sevenoaks and District Motor Club Evening Autosolo held at Brands hatch.
2nd of 9 in the Passenger class.
9th of 32 overall

That time of year again! Thanks Darren Claxton of AJ Servicing for getting me in for a late notice MOT. Darren and the team always bend over backwards to help me where they can.
With the MOT sorted, I was able to compete for the first time in 2026, getting back behind the wheel for the first time in 2.5 years. Update to follow.

Work has been slow on Mazda, the painted subframe is now back on. This meant today I was able to pull the gearbox. This was required as the release bearing was super noisy and clutch feel was awful. Needless to say it all came apparent when the gearbox came out!
