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.

Talking of the seat, I have longer legs than Joe but we are about the same overall height so it looks like I'll have to have a "kiddy" bolster seat so I can look over the steering wheel !
Also seeing that snow is forecast for next weekend at the circuit I'll dig those snow chains out of the back of the workshop !

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.

Cliff can you contact Bernie on your arrival as he may meet you over at Spa and needs a hotel name.

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.......

It will probably be warmer and less damp in the truck than the B&B we used last two years for 6hrs w/end! Even in the snow still forecast........

This one (normally quite reliable) has snow on Friday Zef. Then just wet and cold after that:

Hope you all get better weather than forecast and have a good weekend. Good luck to all 'Tenthers'.
