My clutch cable snapped the other day, anyone who has been following my progress thread will know this isnt the first in a long line of problems I have had. I think the rear beam might need replacing or at least refurbing as there is camber on the rear o/s and i think there is some play. Not to mention it also needs a towing eye welded on before it sees the track. Being at uni I dont need it much anyway but im starting to think I might want something more desirable to get about in when need be and also would like something to travel to nurburgring in and possible le mans this year. What are peoples thoughts on Rover BRMs as a possible replacement?

Yes James. Me and Stavs were talking about these (or vi's) the other day, and concluded that they're the bargain of the century.

Do it.

ZS or BRM? I can get insured for 900 fully comp on the fiesta which is tempting. I know they can look good but probably not very quick.
