I just checked up on the weather for next weekend - and now I'm looking forward to it more than ever !
Weather report
Got the car running nice , sorted the over-heating issues with a bigger rad , made and fitted some inner wings , sent the cam covers in for powder coating , and swapped the diff for a taller one
Just the oil to change and a headlamp to swap and I can start packing ready for the 4am start Friday

Wish I was ready. Just too busy at work to get sorted. Tonneau cover isn't finished yet and then I have to fit the fasteners for it. Oil change to do. Kit to pack. Car to wash.

Inner wings are on my "To do later" list. Too many things still want doing to make it quicker before I get around to them.

ARGH !!!! WHATS GOING ON? WHAT AM I MISSING?

You are missing one of the best car related events on the `calender`
Saturday is a road rally , and rolling car show (stop off's at some nice French towns where the cars assemble in the town square)
Sunday - they close the roads through the town to make a circuit - multiple hairpin bends on the uphill section are a hoot taken as fast as poss , then a fast sweeping twisty downhill section (with the roads lined with cheering crowds and most of the police waving you go faster )
Around 450 classic/kits/sportscars will be there - it BRILLIANT
