So much to do, so little time!
Projects to work on, stuff to try and get finished, not enough time, so few weekends.....AAARRGGHHH!!
I hope I'm not the only one who feels like August is next week, not four months away??
But BOY....despite all the pressure, am I excited about the whole weekend. I'll be the one totally unprepared LOL. I'll be the one like a little kid at his first party. You might need restraints. You might need back-up.

Well, I'm pretty certain the Benz is gonna miss another show, but I'm cool with that. It'll get done!
My main concerns at the moment are having the Bond in a condition to cope with a 400 mile round-trip (and maybe looking a bit better / lower), and having the money to go! ;D

I've got to fit all new boltable panels, spray the car, realise that I made a mess of it because its my first time and spray it again, fit the wheels and arches, sort the engine out and on top of that work out what to attach the 2 spare mini moto engines to!
I can't bloody wait!

I spent about a month deciding what to take, so I picked a car i haven't worked at in over a year, and i have no engine for it, and it needs an mot of course. And countless other bits to make it presentable...

I'll top you all, I haven't even bought a car yet! I will be there though in whatever I buy, I gotta be, 'cos I made the missus decline a wedding invitation so I could attend this year.

I can't bloody wait! I got one of these in my dad's other garage.  The battery is buggered, and I don't have the charger anymore, but it should be entertaining with a minimoto attatched. Donated to the cause  |

If you need a hand with the Bond give me a shout, also we will convoy with you so your safe. If you don't wanna take it there will be space in the B or the MX like last year mate. I have next week off to do the 2010 changes to the GT, but I do agree with you It does feel like the show is tomorrow. |

I reckon the Bond will be OK, I just have to get all the little problems sorted out. My usual reasoning is that if a car can do 30 or 40 miles, it'll probably be alright! ;D |

I'll top you all, I haven't even bought a car yet! Join the club!! Budget issues mean whatever I buy will probably need several weeks' worth of work just to get it roadworthy, so it'll be an 'interesting' summer if nothing else!! ;D |

Being prepared doesn't always help. I now have a roadworthy car but it needs paint, a new headgasket and radiator. But I garuntee a week before the show that list will multiply by ten
