Garage tidy after mamouth Monza session - it looks like a A bomb went off!!! DIY - new lighting and power points in garage (my kind of DIY not hers) Spares sort out - (chuck out or ebay piles) If I get that all done I guess I can get two cars back under cover again which will leave the drive empty so I guess I'll give that a pressure wash Club meeting Sunday but I might not go Monday if weather is good might go to the beach
If the Monza was back from being caged and it isn't gonna be I would be basically doing £50 of Optimax a day and saying sod everything else!!! So I guess thats a good thing!!!

No news on jobs other than Lotus turned me down and after all that work and spending 2 days there i think they wanted people who liked business not working on cars/engines or have any understanding of engineering in general - I'm not bitter honest

1) Clean Rocco in case someone deems it worthy enough to come and have a look 2) Try and fill the hole below the windscreen with something that won't look as bad as the bathroom sealant i've just puleld out. 3) Fetch polo engine from 'uddersfield on Saturday 4) Maybe even fit the engine!

Thats rediculous, lotus are a bunch of bannana waving softies anyway mate, your better off without them! Well when i was at brands last weekend, i walked past the security into the pits and started to badger the teams for people to speak to about jobs. Managed to speak to the manager of seat sport uk, get his card, and he now has my CV! apart from that no news on jobs There is a sprint day at goodwood on sunday or monday, i shall find out. Sprints are usually good for different machenery ill probably pop down for a bit and get some photos. J

104zs in da house: What's planned for the easter break?
I guess laying flat on my back doing absolutely nothing if I only could.....
Since there's still som 30cm of the white stuff allover Mosta Hill I'll not be tinkering with stuff outside so the Shop Hack will stay on winter wheels a couple of weeks more, the top of the Hippie Bay is now visible and it looks real sad, more rust that I remember when picking it up so plans for a HoodRide now more feels like doghouse, the tractor is just humming along so I guess it's working on bike time but I plan on spending some time infront of the TV with the dogs & cat watching a sh*tload of, Starboys, A few loose screwes, On any Sunday, Easy Rider and other bike DVD's to get the blood boiling.....
DP says: Happy Easter to ya all......
