Well done on signing up for full membership I think we met at the Classic JapFest at Goodwood last Autumn. We did have a good turnout for that, and we have another stand there for this year. The show will take place over two days this time, with track available on the Sat, Sunday just club displays as last year. Add your name to the list Do take a look at all the upcoming meets this year - all listed and explained in the Meetings forum. You don't have to have a perfect car to be on the club stand - most of us have a few dings, scratches etc!!

What a gorgeous colour on a stunning vehicle!

Please do come to Prescott - it is a great club day with a number of specially invited car clubs, so lots of other nice cars to watch too!

Hi Yellcell - welcome to the club. There aren't many yellow ones around, so you will always stand out in a crowd How did you get to hear about us? Just curious!! Take a look at all the meetings coming up this year - tickets for the club stand still available for all of them with the exception of JapFest, at Silverstone which sold out very quickly. If you can make it to a few, you will meet lots of supportive members and get to see some cars., as well as displaying your car on our club stand.

Tapatalk was nice initially, but the IT guys did look into it, and it seems a lot of websites dropped it because of concerns. I use my mobile for CUKK whenever I am on the go and it is an icon on my first page for quick access. Loading photos from your photo gallery is easy too. I can't remember how I got the icon on my page . I think I just navigated to the website and put it as a shortcut. Someone else will tell us, I am sure!

The Producer has given me the link to the extended in-car interview with Nicky Grist. This is more footage than is seen in the final programme. Tim gets to ride as Nicky's passenger whilst interviewing Nicky. Just as well it was on public roads - because I think Tim would have been speechless if it was on a rally stage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBsNeqOGIP0&t=4s

There are various websites that list the different variants of Carlos Sainz cars such as GpA Rallye, RC and CS - but I don't think there is a definitive way of establishing exactly how many of each are left. Newly discovered ones come out of the woodwork, some get dismantled for parts if they are beyond saving,. So it is really hard to say. It will be interesting to find out from Nicky Grist how he arrived at that figure.

It is a well-written article and great to see it in print - well done! It was good to see it in person at the NEC last year too. Thank you for mentioning Celica Club

I think we are going to need to investigate that rally stage further..... I think from memory though the producer said it was privately owned??

I dare not ask!!!

Thank you for posting - I was just about to do the same as they sent me the links earlier today, as promised, but I have only just had time to check them out! It's a great piece of footage - such a shame that they had to cut it out of the programme due to lack of time! I know the producer was pretty disappointed too, as they all loved it. Tim and Fuzz really enjoyed driving your car

Ah, brilliant! Thank you for posting the screenshot I had a lovely message from the producer last night to thank me again - it's nice to be appreciated!

We managed to buy a copy from our local newsagent this afternoon.

We are all hoping that raising the profile of the CS will work wonders for the value at long last!

Thanks Stewpot! You should have started that first paragraph with " It's me!!!! " I know you sent me some of the great shots last summer, but I will leave it to you to post some of them tomorrow. If it hadn't worked out with them getting down to Nicky's business when they did - they would have had more time to include more footage of your car. I think that everyone should realise that to do these shows is very time intensive, with lots of problems along the way. It really does come up to the wire before the final reveal. I have just asked the Director about a couple of points. They also tend to be shooting two episodes with two different cars at the same time. The Director needed a good example of an old Wolsley Hornet 1934 era - and I had a good contact for that which came up trumps, apparently!!
