It looks serious even when it is naked!

This thing is too pretty to race... Should be in a glass temperature controlled cabinet... :shock:

Danny was nice enough to take 10 minutes out of his day to show me around the car this morning before his day began (6am - is he busy or something?). I'm not mechanically minded enough to appreciate it all but it's still super impressive from every angle! A little bit of work left before the debut but if anyone will get there it'll be Danny and his team.

It was great to catch up this morning Brad and thanks for your support.

Good progress again today. :twisted:

Love the car... the thought of taking any thing like this on the track..... Well lets just put it this way don't bin it!!!!!

BTW, I helped put in one of your mx5 roll bars in, on the weekend. Hands down and by far the best on the market.... The fact you tig weld over 1/2 of it, when you really don't need to, just shows the pride you guys take in your work. Really nice engineering and built/welded by a tradesman who give a s#it. The crush nuts on the under side of the surport bracket, Just all the little things like that and the fact it fits!!!

Car is looking awesome Danny. Certainly hope it gets to wtac ready to go, even if it is really going to be a shakedown for it. Everybody must be pretty flat out on it in the workshop.

Thanks Ross. The load out date is 3pm on Tuesday. Yes WTAC will most certainly be the cars debut and first shakedown. If I can arrange it I might be able to get it out to Lakeside for the club track day. :twisted:

Funnily enough it hasn't required too many people. It's more about putting it together in the right order and having the right parts available at the right time. :mrgreen:

Cheers,
Danny

Bring it out to the Dodgy day on 26/09/14, this should increase the attendance!

Anyway good luck Danny and enjoy the ride, it all started with a single thought and now it is a reality!

It's not a DeLorean Mark!

Thanks for your wishes.

Work is a bit busy, just realised it should have been 26/11/14.

650t crane issues, delays, lack of free issue materials, no access, over resourced...
