Ralph.
Well, that's me. Its my fault all this is happening. The whole thing started as a magazine article last year but has blossomed into something much bigger and altogether more complicated.
My role is to come up with un-necessarily complex solutions to simple problems and convince everyone that it is a god idea. I still do most of the engineering, all the funding, write the web site and in my spare time I actually sometimes get to race the car.
Nic.
Nic is the team chief mechanic. A post which scares the sweet ftwang out of him. He gets to do a lot of the grubbling round under the car, that quite frankly I cant stand. Top chap. He races off road in the BORC with a V8 Defender.
He also drives the support Land Rover, and we certainly need support.
Kev.
Kev is the team entertainments officer. In charge of team morale when on location including; camping arrangements, food and tea preparation. He runs a splendid series Landrover, watch out for the engine swap later this year..
He also looks after parts collection and general workshop usefulness. An essential tool.
Diana.
My wonderfull misses and top driver, watch out for her BMW E30 later this year, after the minor task of giving birth to our first child!
The Sponsors.
Rik and Lotty Purnell, they run a driving school and have also got a side line in vehicle graphics. Very handy.
Lotty is a true Jaguar enthusiast and has an XJ6 as a daily driver, with a spare abandoned on the lawn.
Rik is quite good at hitting things with hammers.
Franc.
Engine management guru and general all round good egg. An excellent engineer, always helpful. Everyone should have one. He runs a highly modified Range Rover and a rather uneque Jaguar XK8.
It is his gearbox control ECU that has been modified to run on our car.
