It's good though, innit!!!

We ended up getting changed into our Tux and ball gown in the stable block next to the house..

When we did it the band was a little known group called "Blondie" for the evening entertainment.....

NO LEAKS - we changed the rear main seal FOUR times before we got it oil tight - thanks to Dave Billadeau for his advice. We tried many different approaches before we cracked it...

..ALSO it has had the convertor changed for the THIRD time, as we think that the 4200 stall one will give us the best results on the Trans-brake.

We aim to get to the Pod on Thursday - see you all there!!!

Thats good news Pete, hoping to see it run on the Sunday in RWYB, not many fastbacks out there now that can put good numbers down. 4200 verter sounds good, but that might be a bit loose for Roydon when he hits it with sniff, best keep it down to a 150 shot max, that'll put him over his 6000 rpm limit

Car should run 9.8's without sniff anyway.....how fast does he want to go?........see you there
