MIA engine - phew! stress?

Phew! Been a bit of 'mare getting the engine through customs etc - jst waiting on courier's bank showing the BACS transfer I sent yesterday - pending that: crate is good to go for collection.. unfortunately I am now being charged £24 per day holding fee on top of the £416 charged (better than initial £2000 quoted tho)!!!

Hopefuly Phoenix can move quickly to get across to Prestwick and pick up the 370kg crate.

New site, merchandise shop well under way - new logos incorporated. Passed basic mock-up to Tom to work on a 'teaser' site.

I've now registered the car/team with Rob Barnes for the 'tuner class' for the UK time-attack series for next year. It's about 6 spaced-out rounds dotted around UK's tracks - will need to sit down and chat with JL what resource Phoenix have to support this next year but it's a great opportunity for John and group to promote the workshop as a 'tuner' on the aftermarket. Fingers crossed - given nature of the engine, I'll need regular mechanical support either way. Also need a flatbed to transport car/parts to events. I should have draft regs and dates, from Rob, over next month or so.
