Most parcels are getting here Airmail from the US in 6-10 days, so definitely give it a try! You have my postal address don’t you?
I have Clive’s address. If you are hosting the race, yours would be better.

Thought I saw it here last night but not seeing I now.

Received your pm. What county are you in. Postal form won’t work with out a county but keeps defaulting to some island.

We have three boxes being processed through the Lockdown 2.0 quarantine facility. They look like Iain's, Clive's and Alan's... Expect some pics over the next few days.

Bill's extra cars are on their way - as are some cars from Jeff in Texas. Fingers-crossed they make it in time!

Whilst not able to actually declare that I have put our cars in the post, I can say that I am on track to achieve that desire result in the next 24hrs. We all then need to be patient and trust the Post Office to deliver them on time.

As Razzle Dazzle failed to sell at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed Week auction, it will be back to defend it's Street Stock title. Meanwhile our two Bugattii rejoin the fray in a twin pronged attack on the Street Stock and Super Stock 6 classes.

The cars have made it to the Miami International Airport. Its looking hopeful, if they get on the plane quickly.

Fingers-crossed Bill's cars are nice an quick on that final leg to the south coast!

Boxes of cars from the UK are arriving every day...

Hi Andy,

Second package posted earlier today. (Super stock 6.0 car and 4 gear chassis)

After so many defeats by Nissans, I decided "If you can't beat them, buy one." OK, it had rusting doors and dodgy hand painted graphics, but the structure was sound. Time to swap the motor, improve the intake and exhaust systems and add some braking assistance.

We've had Halloween and Bonfire Night, so bring on the Christmas Tree!
