At which circuit?

Added by John Carter on 25 January 2007.
John: It was at an RAF Airfield for the day, we have a track day every year that has proved to be very popular. Picture taken at RAF Valley on Anglesey.

Thank you Andrew. I visit Valley every year for their charity photocall. I'll have to try and find out when the next track day is. Incidentally please note the 'opposite-locking' effect of the two rear tyes on this TACR, a common problem when doing tight turns on tarmac leading to scrubbed tyres, or worse, as every TACR owner knows.

A friend of mine recently came across this appliance in a petrol station near to where he lives. He took some pictures and had a chat with the owner.

I have recently heard of a couple of wheels detaching from the hub of the centre drive wheel! Looks like stress on the weld may be a key factor. I have noticed on mine - and others - that with age the dred of rust appears right on the weld join. Thats why I am looking to replace - eventually - all of my wheels (got one new one already, only six more to go!).
