The 268/272 cams WILL BE FITTED this year.

I WILL pay Mr TJ Paintshops to cut and re lacker my Baby.

I WILL have some new Carbon trims on by the end of Feb.

I WILL go on a track. Either KnockHill, Olton Park or Anglesey race track.

Get the MG sorted and on track and at pod more next year once I have changed the gearbox and fitted a performance clutch and lightened flywheel. This year has been quiet due to other things going on so next year I have some catching up to do.
