We are thinking about having another batch of G4 competition drive shafts made.  These will NOT be like the first lot which broke, but like the replacement batch which have stood up well to race conditions.

8th  July 2004  Last weekend Fos Wilson competed at Snetterton in the HSCC 70s Roadsports Championships driving a MG Midget we prepared and support for him.  He won his class in one race and was second in a second race.

30th May 2004 Don Francis in his Ginetta G4 is currently points leader in his Historic Rally Series.  None of the bits we made for him have fallen off and the car will be coming back for an aeroscreen to use in the balmy summer that is just around the corner.

19th May 2004  A web surfing author was so impressed with the pic of Mark below that they asked Spadge for permission to use it on the cover of their new book.

12th May 2004  On the left Mark "racing" at Spa Sunday shortly before a mechanical problem at the top of Eau (how appropriate) Rouge had him integrating with the crash barrier.  Spadge, racing in a mixed class on compulsory historic tyres against beasts on wet weathers, observed his role was that of mobile chicane.  Monday the G12 was back in England, repaired, and awaiting paint.

20th April 2004  David Dawson, erstwhile ex-Ginetta G15 owner and Evante racer informed Spadge only this morning of some potential changes to 750 Motor Club Production Sports Car Racing Rules.  This should enable Ginetta G4s to run a wider variety of engines and also may permit Ginetta G15s with engines transplants such as Alfa Romeo, etc.  It may also allow the Ginetta G26-31 range in.  It seems to be the place to race a Ginetta G27 these days.  There are a number of good competition cars out there that are now not eligible for the One Make Series; they are remarkably good value and go well.

Apparently at a recent 750 Motor Club race  Nick Hamilton was going well and had the lap record in sight.  Howard Jones in his Ginetta G4 won his class as usual.

11^th February 2004  On a recent road trip to Scotland, Spadge dropped off a Ginetta G32 shell to Dave and Nina Baker as spares for their much developed hill-climb car. Knowledge that they have all the repair panels they ever need should be worth at least two seconds off their times this year we hope!
