Have any of you seen the latest from The Mayle team?
Looks and sounds good, I suppose it should with over 3000 man hrs.

Steve Mayle has several interesting clips on you tube along with son Johnny. Father and son appear to have a great working relationship as well.

Steve and John are great guys -- note the garage language warning on the clips!

John's trip in that Foden does show how far behind they were by this point though. A great chassis let down by a terrible drivers experience. The 12 speed box is such hard work compared to a contemporary Fuller.

Sadly we were already falling behind the competition on many fronts for various reasons but poor quality was one of them.
