I am sure that most of you know that I write an occasional article for the back page of Racer magazine. Well this year I am repeating the “Christmas Wish” list. If you remember last year it had such goodies as:
Anti pinging e clips.
Magic Super Glue that could tell the difference between fingers and tyres
Wives that understand you have to be away EVERY Sunday
Etc etc.
Well this year I am asking you lot to come up with some new ones for me. All suggestions will be considered. The more outrageous the better but keep it clean(ish)
I will make sure they are all attributed to South Hants members and might even give a prize for the best one.
Over to you and have FUN!

So Matt, maybe that should be an Anti Grip Tyre Compound for those that are quicker than us. Quite like the idea.

Remotely adjustable roll centres or damping - a use for the 3rd channel! Turn up the grip!

i like the idea of electronic stability and traction control, something similar to the mitsubishi evo but 1/10 scale, or maybe gps controlled auto drive.

It is a geeky hobby and that's why we enjoy it, we are all geeks ;D ;D
Who cares? I've always been a bit of a nurd, I just hide it well ;D ;D
Great suggestions Dan, I would love not to hear the question " what sort of racing is it then?".

Wish list -
RV with workshop interior - no more dodgy hotels that dont have enough power sockets to recharge everything, no more dodgy burgers, no packing & unpacking the car - it all lives in one place, no leaving stuff behind by accident (it all stays in the RV), no more soggy tents or noisy people in the next hotel room.........might have a problem getting it through the gate at West London tho'.
Col
Oh and how about a credit card that never needs repaying.......
