Good car, with some good bits.

Hi All and John

Thanks for the promt on updating the post.

The car is about 90% complete and should be started in the coming weeks so yes I have missed the June start up. I would have finished sooner if not for some more help from my co-driver :evil:

Yeah. It IS looking good, Neil. But the co-driver might feel a tad impaled. Or is that the intention............

John there is no point owning an mx5 and taking it out on the track. :lol:

I'll have to take you for a run in the new car when I've got it sorted.

Is that \"and NOT taking it out on the track\"??

Must be the broken sleep patterns getting to you.

Would love a run. Have done a few things to mine. Any suggestions on how to improve breathing in an NC? 8)[/quote]
