Save the bubbly

 

[Adam G]

I'll sneak a Lambrini then

 

[Adam G]

Small update as not much has happened, the build is making steady progress but glad I chased up my race boots order - JJC were out of stock and I wouldn't have had them in time. All sorted now as an alternative has been chosen. Not as easy as you hope, this racing lark.

Thats rubbish as JJC are normally on the ball.where did you get your suit from?

I know Sonny, I've had quite a bit off them recently and always delivered really quickly.
The suit was from YB Racing.

 

[sonny172cup]

so are you all set to go?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Somebody has asked me about poly windows for production class, I can't remember, what about you Adam?

 

[Adam G]

I thought the idea was to keep the budget down lol. If we can then can we decide now whilst mine are out. I don't mind either way.
Security is a bit of an issue though for road use isn't it?

 

[Adam G]

so are you all set to go?

I am yes, the car is a bit closer after today. Wheel and seat subframe welded in.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I can't remember doing it in the regs, still in Lanzarote atm so not looking now.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Just re read the regs.
It's not mentioned, but it does say, that if your haf it as it left the showroom, and it's not mentioned below, then no you csnt have it.
So no poly carbs for production class.

Sorted.

Nice one...1 week to go.

 

[Adam G]

At least I can sit in it and pretend.

 

[Adam G]

Boots delivered today so all is good, sent on next day as an apology. So credit where it's due, JJC sorted out to my satisfaction.

 

[sonny172cup]

I've made myself out to be a contender for the "nearest to finish building the car before scrutineering ever" competition.
All being well it shall be done, cage won't even be primered though

 

[Adam G]

Found a lovely black V6 (not Fred's) at a price I couldn't refuse, paid deposit yesterday and picking it up tonight - very excited. Pics to follow

 

[Tony Hunter]

Going to race it?

Nearly there mate, nothing special at the moment. Will wait until it's finished, as there's a couple of nice touches. I'm off work next week so hope to get it finished then.
