Took the cabrio to irwindale last night to try get my final license pass done,didnt happen mainly due to a new engine that still needs setting up,started out really rich to make it safe and only got 3 runs in due to the track getting cold and damp to quickly,this was the last pass and it got a little out of shape,no harm done though and I will try again next week if the rain holds off,yes it does rain in sunny southern california,quite alot recently

Besides the obvious shock, I heard you say the engine is done then, installed and running! What is actually involved in getting your licence over there? Strange that some-one with your long year experience and certified car needs to do so many 'trials' or so it seems... |

Though it always looks wild it only ever really does one of a couple of things and that isn't one of them! Nice steering. Here's to better luck with the track next week. |

your kab and the left wall seem to attract one another a lot lately Good point. I think Richie will start in the right lane next time. After all, it is his natural "fast lane". |
