Update - 23rd Nov 06

I'll start with the good news first - jst passed my ards test - woo hoo. I'm now 'legal'. Blimming easy tho took it all in and appreciate this is jst the start of my learning curve & not the end. Completed my track work in a Ibiza Cupra - it was wet but still fifty times easier than the Esprit in the dry..! What's better is that I can block-book time with one of the instructors to adapt to 'Eleanor's' new set-up and refine my craft.

re trans - Barry's blimming credit card wont accept money from my credit card.. how mad is that - it means I can't order the trns etc until the end of the month when my bonus come sin. Aaaaarggghhhh!

Small world - looks like I may be able to get the shifter arrangment from Mike Sekinger who bought the engine and box out of Eleanor's sister car. That would def work a treat.

team shirt arrived with new logo but I only managed to go and speel Phoenix wrong.. doh! Duly corrected before I order shirts etc for the rest of the guys.

Trying to source a wheel boss so I can order a new one. Hope to get a new carbon bucket from Martyn, new dash, new harness, new shifter, paint inside and new cage covers and hopefully make th ecar look a lot less tired looking and match Gary's eventual exterior transformation.

Parcelforce almost sent the nascar gauge back to the US - still checking whether they caught it in time.

Hoping Phoenix will service the brakes, hubs, bearings soon & I can order up new parts inc. spacers and those lovely Compomotive MOs..

Meanwhile Martyn down at MVS is cracking on with the aero package - rear diffuser is done - he's now starting on front end, wing, roof scoop and engine cover..

Lots to do.. long way to go.
Cheers
Jon
