today that lot would be over a £million, if only i had a time machine
Alan Baker who owned CitySpeed was ex Boreham competitions and a top guy.
Helped many of us youngsters in Gloucester get into Rallying giving a little back through his business.
Sadly the business dwindled as he didn't want to supply the Max Power brigade and couldn't be as competitive with the likes of Demon Tweeks.
You can just imagine how he felt with his background when a young Capes would turn up with a XR3i cabriolet wanting a big bore exhaust to get his extra 50 BHP.

Doubt young Capes or his XR3i would get to Gloucester ;)
