The title is from an article wrote in 2020, in of all things a MX-5 owners club form 
As the article reads, they were a highly successful Touring British Touring car racing team in the 60's & 70's, and yes I was at Brands Hatch to witness them during that period.
I was a young 12-14 year old lad who with my best school friend and also a Slot Car enthusiast (Stephen Allen in case your reading this, I hope so) would use our "Red Rover" bus passes to take a trip from our Forest Gate East London residences to Brands Hatch during those years. A Red Routemaster bus journey to Woolwich Ferry to take us across the River Thames. Once across the Thames we would catch a Green Line bus to Brands Hatch and spend our "10 bob" or today 50p entrance fee to get in.
All this without any adult assistance.
Whilst testing out the MG1100 I just finished on my track, I had to compare it against my prevously made George Turner Fraser Nash Hillman Imp, and the memories came flooding back. Those were great days and I hope Steve, you are still out there somewhere ?
