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 like Mexico, traffic & pollution is a pain in Mexico City, but love the food.

Still starting a new plant soon, so will be away from all that traffic.

Decent workshop should help, weather will brighten up soon :thumbright: Enthusiasm just needs a little kindling from time to time, to keep the fire burnin.
I find a good race meet, perks me up in no time

You never know, good assistants are never easy to get hold off ;)

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 :shock:

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

Know how you feel spent two years in Italy setting up the first automated catalog company over there one year in Ireland setting up the Black and Decker workmate production unit and two years in S Wales for 3M film production.
When I got back I had a kid I knew nothing about :shock:
