Life is very good cheers Dougie.
I started racing again four or five months ago. Was bored and life revolving around work and kids so decided to do something for myself!!
Got my son a car too with a view to getting him into it as soon as he's interested but not looking good so far!
You could probably get enough for your gallop on FleaBay to get yourself set up with some modern gear.
