    Dropped the 2.0S engine for maintenance as lock down is giving time ahead to do so.
    Cleaned the place
    Enjoying my own new garage with enough space to park my current toys and coming ones. Kid's dream alive.

    10k Tach

    Figured I'd post a pretty picture and a cool video. tom1394racing sold me an old T-tach, which was sent off to John Bell for refurbishment and face conversion to 10k, and I installed in the car today. Think it was two weeks start to finish. Both guys are class acts.

    Perfect day to do the tach swap after dinner and go for a drive with my eldest.

    Here is the tach in action. I didn't think I'd be a fan of the 10k tach, but it is much easier to see 7k.

    And my favorite co-pilot pretending she is the driver.

    Nice one!

    As John found out, I am trying to neurotically balance a desire for the car I want to drive vs the car I want to sit in. I learned to drive in a long hood, so every time I drive it is a reminder of my grandmother sitting in the passenger seat yelling at me not to ride the clutch. So yes, there are better options out there, but silver dot. I joked with John that he needs to make it so the needle bounces for 30 seconds after each shift, otherwise its not authentic to me.

    I brought it home!

    It's been two and a half years since the body and paint was finished and it's been in storage since then... Now that I have a garage built to get on with the re-assembly, I finally brought it home!

    Very busy days ...


    Biancaneve is in the process of been made roadworthy again following many months of storage. Following a failed MoT last year, we need to replace front shocks, review carburation and some minor stuff. I invested some time in this recent rainyday ☔ in fitting nice but otherwise useless seat belts ... the local motor authorities didn't like Biancaneve racing harnesses �� ...

    Meanwhile, also our 1974 Carrera 2.7 is in need of TLC ... a more complex situation requiring descending the full engine ... the usual slippery slope ... not sure we can see her on the road soon ...
