We saw the Sebring Sprite - very nice. There is one that competes in hillclimbs, but I don't think it's a Midlands car as it doesn't appear in this area very often. I think the last time I saw it was up at Harewood hillclimb at the "Montague Burton" SHSC round Rod

Red, Thanks for that - there's a lot happening on PP ! We're an all-Ford couple. My wife has an EcoBoost Focus Estate and I have a first generation diesel Kuga, with the optional 4WD. Before that I had an S-Max which was brilliant, but when towing the trailer with the Puma on it, I was...

Gingerdave, I'll hang on to the FRP for a bit longer thanks ! As well as the usual gleaming and expensive exotics (the Lambo stood out rather well !), there were a lot of decent, proper, cars there as well - some very tidy 'real' Minis arrived as a group, Heralds, TR's, MGs, Escorts, Anglias...

Gingerdave, Thank you ! You are a bloomin' saviour and a properly honest bloke. I am suitably content now that I am merely just one of the youngsters here ! Rod

Blimey, there's a lot going on with this site ! Thanks to quest63, true blue, Brian, evilrob, truonokid, and my RPOC chums Bentleya & PumaNoob for all the welcome messages to Project Puma - very kind of you all chaps ! I'm glad PumaNoob mentioned it to me, I would never have known about it...

PumaNoob, You sweet talking swine ! Rod

For anyone who fancies a once-a-month Sunday morning outing in beautiful countryside, with breakfast, and a meeting with other Puma, classic car, and sports car owners, I can recommend the following. The Midland Automobile Club's (MAC) “Breakfast Club” is held once a month, between February...

PumaNoob, Greetings old sport ! When we next chat, you must tell me how to resize and upload photos, and how to attach a "signature" type photo to "FRP Rod". I got myself into a real mess trying to do it on the RPOC site, so I more or less gave up trying long ago ! Us old duffers aren't as...

Oh dear, I fear that I beat Mike B. by a fair chunk ! I'm just a few weeks shy of 69 (and have just had my first bit of bother getting the MSA to grant my 2015 comp licence application). There must be someone older than me - please !! Rod

I'm an RPOC member, but am ashamed to admit that I hadn't heard of Project Puma until I was told about it by turbopuma when I met him for the first time at lunchtime today (and that happened thanks to the owner of V4 FRP, one of the press-release FRPs). I have had my FRP since 2010. The car...
