Well after all his graft over the winter I had the privilege of the first real run out in the Pit after major heart and lung surgery.
Basically Engine freshened re gapped, ported, gearbox blued with a billet drum, Gear venders overdrive shortened prop and refurbished 4:10 Dana back axle replacing the 8 3/4.
Oh and a flicky switchey for opening new DMH electric headers(don't know where he got the idea for that)
Oh man! Adam that car is even more awesome.
The car has more switches now than a space shuttle but Ada only hit the engine shut off switch once during the trip so that's not to bad.
Drove to the Ace no one there so assumed all had gone to the bridge scooted off and turned onto the bridge with open headers purging the NOS and launched it over the bridge like the dukes of hazard landing on the other side.
No one there cept the burger man scared the poo out of him though.
Waited and eventually the usual suspects arrived nice to get out after the time I have had and chew the fat again.
Scott did not make it pump problem in Tooting Bec still he used to all that.

Left at 10 30 in a NOS smokescreen and played with a couple of Ferraris and a vette up to parliament square .
We got there first te he and turned up the Mall to park lane.
Sitting behind Adam in his flying jacket arm out the window and the car having that new oil and paint cooking smell well it was like flying a spitfire up the Finchley high road.
Just one of tose moments if you know what I mean.
Thanks Adam I will let Del post some pics if he took any.
Thanks Adam

Kev.
On my tombstone " I told you I was ill"
Boxing day - Toothache severe pain till two days after new years due to NHS spending all there money on call centres manned by bannaerramas telling you you are not important so don't bother us were busy on face book.
After a couple of days overdosed on Nurafen should have dome 6 in twelve hours but did 12 in 6 and topped up with Tramadol and whiskey:shock:
woke up in Hospital.
Wife and I decide enough was enough and time to get fit, went out on the bikes wife fell of broke two bones in her pelvis.
Did me back in looking after her took my eye of the ball and the foxes got the chickens, while looking for them climbed on a wall and tore the cartillage in my right knee so waiting for wife to get of her crutches so I can have my opp and use the crutches.
Dare not ask the NHS for more in case I get arrested for a section 5 for asking.
I wish I was coming with you mate this country is finished.

Yes Rob.
The blaster master made it in the Neon.
He farted the dump valve twice before cresting the top of the bridge on his way out
MMMM Nice

Oh yeah

Oh yeah Kev,
Forgot to mention that I torn the tendons in my left shoulder lifting the 150lb gearbox out of old yella 49 onto the workbench so could not move my arm more than 3 inches in any direction for the last week.
Haven't even been able to have a JA.
Please Godmake the pain go away.

Sorry Kev,
I missed your first point.
But the way things have been lately I am ruling nothing out.
In fact I wish you had not brought it to my attention.
Going back to bed for a couple of weeks in case.
