ON GUARD!
Oct 13th
Duel Auto Care is a car care brand I really like and their Oxide Hybrid Quick Detailer is a particularly good product in my view.
Not only did it give a good level of gloss on my paintwork but it is also designed to give a level of protection from just one quick application.
I also liked the excellent levels of beading and water repellency and is said to give durability lasting up to eight weeks. A 500ml spray bottle (good trigger, by the way) costs £14.99 and is available from www.duelautocare.co.uk ENDS.

NOT A KIT, OBVIOUSLY, BUT DEAD GOOD
Oct 6th
I realise it’s not a kitcar, but it is very specialist and I like it so it was always going in. It helps that I have always had a passion for proper French sportscars and the new Alpine A110 R is delicious.
The most hardcore – thus far – version of the new version of A110 has a suffixed ‘R’ which Alpine say stands for ‘radical’.
Featuring revised styling for the bonnet, rear window and diffuser it is also 34kg lighter than the hitherto rangetopper, the A110 S not to mention around £12,000 more expensive, too.

GIVE IT THE BEANS
Oct 6th
Burton Power has produced a reproduction of the aluminium sump, especially for use on the Ford SOHC Pinto engine. As can be seen from the photograph additional clearance has been provided around the cross member and steering rack.
In the process of reproducing this sump, Burton Power has also redesigned the baffle so that it provides far more protection from oil surge than the original version. The modified baffle has been configured to keep oil surrounding the pick-up at all times, especially under much more extreme conditions than those for which the original sump was created. The new Burton Power sump More >
