Have been watching this the past few nights and am quiet enjoying this program, following presenter Mark Evans as he builds, tunes and races a 7-type circuit racer - his very own Westfield 1800, a Ford Zetec powered car with independent rear suspension. It was released in 2004 but some of you like me may not have seen it.

I go along with your recommendation Chris; superb as are all of Mark Evans series.
The programs have all been on the Discovery channels & every one of them has had me glued to the TV.
He's a fantastic presenter, getting across a lot of facts & being daft at the same time. Top man IMHO

Laughing That can be arranged John. I've been glued to the TV every night watching the series on the Westfield, it is very funny at times and more informative than I imagined it would be. Yes it's the episodes from the Discovery Channels that I have been watching.

Congratulations on your 100th post too cheers

"A Plane is born" & "A Chopper is born" are also well worth a watch; not forgetting all of the others.
I had a chat to Mark when he was doing a "spot" at the NEC classic car show a few years ago.
He was really chuffed when little me said how much I enjoyed his shows; a really nice, unasuming chap.

The best presenter on Telly after Fry that is; IMO. The tiny one with the shiny teeth on Top gear should learn from them (if that's possible?)
Discuss!! affraid



Oh & thanks 101 now Laughing
