Car looks good, Joe. How much weight do the lights add? Have you moved the seat back a tad to compensate on front/rear balance.

Just checked the forecast again and it is not just 'sleet showers', but 'heavy snow' during Friday! That really is beyond a joke and hope that it doesn't turn out like that. Was bad enough in March when meetings were cancelled........
Have to get myself back into gear after disappointment at Silverstone yesterday so could do with a more positive forecast! |

we have a cushion for Gordon, lamps weigh less than a decent meal, no adjustment required. I cut an old grille to keep them in the car rather than hanging out the front as well.

Starting to wonder if Spa is a free for all this weekend . . .no tickets or passes or anything yet . . . . Its never been before . . . and I'd like to see something for the money as I'm sure there'll be the usualy ex gestapo Belgian jobsworths loitering near anything on hinges
If it is a free for all we'll take the spare road Cortina as well, and Gordon can bring the Anglebox |

Anyone travelling via Lille, Mons and Namur towards Spa: there are some major roadworks going on in both directions.
Mainly between Charleroi and Namur. 50 Kph restrictions and speed cameras. |

Team Canary will be camped in the paddock, Al. The Touring cars will be in endurance garages (i.e, old ones) but no idea where truck will be. Not much point in hotel when you are testing and racing in middle of night.......

This one (normally quite reliable) has snow on Friday Zef. Then just wet and cold after that:
http://www.myweather2.com/Motor-Raci...it.aspx?sday=2 Hope you all get better weather than forecast and have a good weekend. Good luck to all 'Tenthers'. |
