Just so you know, that's not me in the pic. (Just in case you see him in Le Mans, and scamper up to him, believing him to be one of us)
well if you do feel the need for car "loving" please dont wear the CA Tshirt  Fair enough. Just remember to wear your basque to the poo bar gathering. i was thinking thong and waiters cuff and coller personally  |

Well the good news is the new engine and radiator is in and running ok. The bad news is the bill currently stands at about £1300 for the engine and fitting etc. But still need the rear wheel bearing, rear discs and pads and also got play in front lower wishbones and track rod still to sort out and add to the bill  |

Rear bearings aren’t to bad and the disc’s / pads should be cheap enough (bout £50 for the lot for the astra if I remember correct from a autofactors / Halfords trade  ) Week to go so your doing well  |

My car (planned for LM): fine lad #1's ankle: sprained, doesn't know if he can go - was planned to provide a racing team's motorhome which would've made our 3rd HA-pass a campsize extender lad #2's car - not planned: broken driveshafts lad #3's car - not planned: unknown status - 150.000km We'll see - I like difficult tasks It's so bad - for the injured as well as for us as we never had a motorhome before and this is a luxury motorhome. He got it from the team as they worked so hard during the Nurburgring 24h - Crash friday morning, repaired for evening qualifying to do mandatory laps. Lack of engine power and changed it during the night until 5am. Faultless race and P3 in class - 2 weeks holiday in norway for the crew paid by the drivers and as an extra the motorhome for Le Mans  |

Wait an see at LM... and the release fee is far more horrid than parting with £120 LPP, I am presuming that it was the Chavelier that was clamped. Is it worth £120?, remember to clean it out occasionally and it won't look 'abandoned' now, isn't it see. |
