Merry Christmas to all our Matristi friends everywhwere!

May your best presents be motoring ones!

I've been absent from the Forum for over two months while my wife Charlie has been in and out of hospital (five times!). She is home now and has been so for nearly three weeks (on Monday). This is progress!

My only driving has been to/from hospital and latterly in the snow and ice by means of our 1994 Jeep Wrangler! The novelty of 4x4 is wearing off and now the days are getting longer thoughts turn to Spring and larger superchargers!

We are just starting to make a template to see how we can mount the Wade R020 twin lobe (Roots type) blower on the Bagheera inlet manifold. Wood now, aluminium next!

My Christmas present from Charlie is my 2011 MSA Competition licence!

Happy New Year too!

Andy and Charlie

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Just to complete this topic, I need to tell you that I crashed Baggy Joe into the Armco safety fence just after the Finish line at the Crystal Palace Sprint on Monday this week. I was unhurt but the front of Baggy Joe is quite damaged but very repairable.

I will start a new topic entitled "Baggy Crashed" as this seems to be the second phase of his life as a competition car.

Since Charlie died we have done Sprints at Rushmoor (1st in Class, correctly), Goodwood (1st in Class in error) and Crystal Palace (crashed after the finish but going quickly!) Also Hill Climbs at Wiscombe, near Seaton in Devon, (we entered four separate events over two weeks to try and learn the hill properly) and Prescott "La Vie en Bleu" the day before Crystal Palace.

Thanks for all your interest and support. Over 20,000 visits to this topic is amazing!

Get well soon please Baggy Joe. We are missing you already!

In case you do not see it, I have started a new topic today, Monday August 15th, called "Baggy Repaired".

See you there!
