Started morning - 5am to watch Japan GP - Schuey's engine blew - pretty much handed c'ship to Alonso - not a great start to my day. I'm not tifosi but I'd like to see the old man go out with a 8th title - hopefully he can finish his last ever Gp with a win in Brazil.
LBM cafe-press goodies arrived - after a £9 customs and royal mail charge. However stuff looks good - BB cap, hoodie for wife and team shirt for moi. Guess what folks getting for Xmas this year (LBM goodie bag..lol) + gonna get the guys at the workshop some team shirts.
The great lotus sell-off continues - if all goes well I may find buyers for top end inc. TBs, injectors, BOV, chip etc. Also had some interest on the trannies and looks as if headlights and 2 spare rear wheels will find a home. Waiting on Garry Kemp to confirm back on the main engine. Turbo, c'cooler, spare block and ecu are sold. All money made towards the cause.
Still waiting on shipping costs from Barry - engine dimensions look ok so jst need to confirm G50 housing dimensions and adaptor plate.
Garage re-jigged ready for Esprit's return. Nothing better than a tidy workspace even if all work done down at Phoenix..lol : John & guys are doing a great job and I've no doubts they'll get the job done. News that they will reloom the whole car gave me a warm feeling inside. Jenny got some in-progress pics - will post asap.
Trailer sold to Rog - as soon as I add 1cm to the track on the car then it'd be useless anyway - hoping Pheonix will oblige for testing and most events.
Still exploring wheel-tire options - Stevei at Unique styling is looking into it - 17s look most likely but they need to be light and Garry will need to mod arches to fit but means they don't have to be mega wide as you can't get semi-slicks in silly ass wide rubber and slicks not eligible for timeattack..
