With the weeks ticking down at an alarming rate and the list of stuff to do still very long is anyone else feeling the pressure? My world looks a bit like this at the moment.....   Pics of how far off or together everyone else is welcomed to make me feel either reassured or more worried 😊 |

It’s a month today until you need to panic and decide to pull an all nighter  That’s just ‘challenging’ at the minute Have a list of things to get done on the Fug, but all fairly minor compared to that Good luck! |

I've not started to panic yet, but I have many niggly jobs to do before heading out that far after the few minor issues for being that far away from home  And I need to remember to print off my tickets  |

I was feeling pretty confident until my auto gearbox forgot how to act like an auto gearbox... So now the stress begins  |

Hey that's almost complete! I'm on the deadline display... my engine and gearbox are still on the floor, exhaust manifold and turbo aren't on the engine and I still need to change the sump gasket, fit propshaft, fit gear selector, bypass the automatic starter inhibitor as it is having a manual gearbox, fit the clutch lines, bleed the brakes and clutch, fit complete exhaust and change the steering rack as it is knackered leaking oil and making funny noises.

My dashboard is sitting on the bonnet, all the electrics and heater cabling is disconnected (some of it is broken), there's a minor smell of fuel from near the tank, and it's got no MOT. 3 weekends to go...

Well I've fitted the clutch pedal and clutch lines, engine and gearbox are bolted together so there's a few jobs done! |

Relatively easy jobs but got my engine cam cover painted and a new driveshaft boot fitted up today, so I’m ready for the weekender, can’t wait beer mates and cars after months of boredom   |

Dashboard went partially in, almost broke in half, came back out again. Part of the wiring loom needs to come out before I can try to put it all back together again, and that means tracing a bunch of extra wires, cleaning all the contacts and working out what goes where. I think I'll be there in my EV.  |

Neither the ST220 or M3 are back! But: -M3 is booked in for an MOT this Friday. -Mondeo’s paintwork should be done today or tomorrow. That leaves the service and cooling system. Pending acceptance, I’m planning on bringing down the M3. It will have another Blue BMW to accompany it  . |

I gave up panicing and ordered some band-aid decals to cover up the smashed bonnet on mine!

I was panicking, then I wasn't, now I am again because although I have resigned myself to bringing the Discovery once again, I can't find my tickets |

This is now a clicky linky!  |

I have found the PayPal transaction but not the email, although all the subsequent postponement and cancellation and do you want to have a refund or carry over your tickets ones are there.

I have now reduced my panic level to "normal" and even managed to print my now found tickets. |
