HYNESIGHT
The recent tragic events in America initially seem totally unconnected with the car-building hobby,
but Neil Foreman echoes the sentiments of many who have written in having made a strong connection.
NEWS
Just when you thought things were quietening down, there's an explosion of activity
from the new GTM Spyder to Stuart Taylor's Honda Vee-twin bike engine, the return of the SR V8 and so much more.
CLUB LIST
This is where to contact clubs, fellow enthusiasts and car-building neighbours. It's regularly updated and this month we have fresh contact information for Challenger, GTM and JZR
MOTORSPORT
Jonathan Barnett brings us up to date on the last few rounds of 750 Motor Club kit car championship while Gerry Hawkridge hobbled along to the Stratos Motorsport weekend.
CLUBS AND EVENTS
Ian Ayre comes up with his usual mix of sound reporting and concrete information
before going all tongue in cheek on us as he highlights the month's club activity including 2001's Running Board Rally.
THE HOLE STORY
Steve Hole brings you his usual mix of nostalgia and mickey-taking as he highlights forgotten marques,
spotlights unsung heroes, celeb~tes specials and smiles at the way things used to be.
DEBUT GTM SPYDER
GTM's stunningly styled Spyder took us all by surprise.
It's not quite ready for driving yet but that didn't stop Ian Hyne visiting GTM for a pretty thorough look at the latest Richard Oakes masterpiece.
DEBUT: CAMAROTTA
Detinitely one for the older and rather more specialised enthusiast
but Dave Ratner's Mini-based salute to the 1960's Berkeley Sports is still a neat and utterly competent little car as well as oodles of fun.
TIME TRAVEL
lain Ayre and Martin Foster settle a few bar-room disputes over which car is quickest from 0 - 60 mph.
Most people think it's a McLaren Fl but you don't need to spend £600,000 to be quick off the mark!
SQUARING UP
The Madgwick Roadster has a sound engineering and successful competition pedigree behind it
but will it be enough to cut it in the Lion's Den of the industry's most~ hotly contested market sector?
GREEN GENIE
The Phantom is a graphic example of the design, engineering and manufacturing quality that can be achieved by a small, specialist company.
Ian Hyne revels in the road-burning brilliance of the GTR.
BUY-2-BUILD GD: 427
The GD 427 is unique among kit form copies of the AC Cobra in its representation of the Mk3 coil-sprung car.
If you want to build one, Steve Hole points out everything you need to know about the job.
MELLOW YELLOW
Vince Wright's Nemesis is a giant of a car in every way from its sheer dimensions to its V12 power but rather than intimidating,
lain Ayre reckons it's a practical daily driver for the extrovert enthusiast.
BRIGHTON SPEED TRIALS
lain Ayre attends a unique event aimed at getting along the prom rather more quickly that walking!
It's one of the few places you will see kits, classics and daily drivers competing on equal terms. Great!
LAUGHING GAS
Once the exclusive and complex preserve of drag racing specialists,
nitrous oxide injection is now well within the financial and performance budget of roadgoing kit cars. It's a gas says lain Ayre!
Q&A;
Once again lain Ayre comes to the rescue with the answers to your technical problems and even if his advice doesn't quite do the trick,
at least his answers are funnier than Claire Rayner's.
