Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

Havent got it back yet, fetching it tomorrow night.

Hmm now can i get it all together in time, best see if i can have friday off work, if i cant then im knackered really!

Carbs nearly rebuilt, can finish that off tomorrow, still got the engine to put in, wiring to do, driveshafts to chage to pot joints, err lots of other things! like getting it running and connecting lots of bits that have never been connected so wonder if they even work!

Pretty sure my car wont be there, hate being a spectator!! Havent even got the van i can bring either as ive sold that.

Thought id easy hit this deadline but other commitments seem to come in front of this, selling a house and buying a new one (with a garage so worth the hassle *smiley* ) seems to take up my time!

Wondering if ill actually make the show at all, got to go at some point to collect all the bits ive bought! Worth going to save the postage on a head and full disc brake setup!

Which day is best to go? was thinking of coming up saturday all day and then leaving late saturday night after the bbq or early sunday morning. Bringing a video camera and digi camera to get some shots of all the turbo's for the site.

Wish i could come both days but barely got the time to go one day *frown* is there any other shows later in the year i can aim for? im only about a week or two behind schedule (should everything work) so something fairly soon. If not ill see if Dan is up for a run what ya brung day at pod or york sometime soon.

Depends also if mine passes the MOT retest tomorow! After that im going to fit the front tinted windows, ive got to get all the guages working especially the temp guage.

I dont know where im going! Would it be easier if i just drove to your house? I have no idea, Im crap at directions without multimaps!

Also, im not taking a tent me and the bird are probably sleeping on the uncomfy cobra classics. Thats if i cant find minimarks tent i heard he lets people in.
