I drove a Ginetta G15 like that once - I think it was horrendous bump steer, as my pal had a real mire setting his up, but driving along an arrow straight road near Peterborough with drainage ditches on each side it was a case of wondering not if you'd end in a ditch, but which one!
I didn't buy it.
Shame though, as it was otherwise a lovely car, and when sorted they are great.
Oh, and the rear of the car looks quite nice Rich - have you thought about cutting some big vent panels in it though? maybe a wee VW engine?

Great update Rich! Sounds like going back to the old Cox GTM setup has moved you forward.

Glad to hear you got it sorted Rich.
Another relaxing week off then.
As usual, your diagnosis was spot on as was your remedy.

ive resolved my 'drip problem' which was running the use of my gtm, it was just impossible to leave it parked outside as it got so piss wet through inside if it rained
I took my car to the excellent Little garage classics in Halifax and got Ed to make me a pair of alloy drip rails.
I wanted a specific look and finish(i.e 1970's) and I can report back that they work great, I left the car outside in a tropical rainstorm on Saturday night and for the first time ever both the seats and the floor where bone dry!
heres a couple of photos of the work in progress, they have been polished since these pics where taken
very happy with them!

yeah, Ed made it look easy
im sure I could have made a real mess of them had I attempted to beat them out of a bit of alloy sheet!

Ahh I see what you mean now Rich. That is a great bit of metalwork from Ed and a good solution for your wet pants. Cheers. Mark
