I like Mexico, traffic & pollution is a pain in Mexico City, but love the food.Knightcharger wrote:But did you get used to the food and pollution?
Still starting a new plant soon, so will be away from all that traffic.

Decent workshop should help, weather will brighten up soonKnightcharger wrote:Hi Mark.
I have not done much but have secured a new workshop and removed the front screen for budge which will allow me to get on with the dash and chassis mods ect.
Lost a bit of enthuse last year but it is slowly coming back.
Just waiting now for the weather to break and will get stuck in again.

I find a good race meet, perks me up in no time

You never know, good assistants are never easy to get hold offKnightcharger wrote:Mark do you need an assistant I think my problem is I am bored miss all that action with the contractors, health and safety issues and deadlines.

I'm not doing full blown Project role this time in Mexico, as want to reduce my travelling. Been away 3 yrs out of the last 5 years

Just going to handle the Blades manufacture side this time, which should help a bit

Trouble is that I'm in a situation that most would love, I have too much work on. I'm pretty well loaded now till the end of 2011

That should do the trick or even get a blast out with Ade, as his motor will be rumbling fairly soon by the sounds of thingsKnightcharger wrote:Bump your right Mark need to smell some rubber burning.
Perhaps get the road runner out tomorrow and get a Mopar injection.
