    I'm fighting the urge to make things pretty, but the truth is it's not too hard to detail a few bits and pieces given that I've got the gear to do it. The challenge of course is to keep it looking pretty!

    Alex I'm on target to get it done in time... Though it's likely to be regularity for me. I might let Pritchard drive it in anger though

    When do we get an essay on your new car?

    All plating is done now and the only impediment to puting the car back together now is time...

    I have entered hung, so there will be 2 green early cars running.

    Alex will be much faster than me though.

    I'm pretty sure the car won't be ready for Pi by March.

    Set up he rear left spring plate and trailing arm today. Fuchs for the road and Alex's old minilites for the track...
