I'm sure you've all done it as well, but me and Ben worked on the TT2 'til midnight last night. Got to bed around 12:30 then had to get up at 1 to feed Archie (my boy) got back to be just after 2 then up again at 6. I was woken up by Ben starting Elise and buggering off to work (a couple of hours drive) but Archie wanted feeding again too. Then off to work at 7.

Got more work to finish the car aswell. Got to be done for the RR and Log Book inspection on Tuesday.

I know it is all worth it, the finishing line is near now. I'm bloody knackered though.

Thats why I am not putting a date on going racing... other than "this year"!

Its too stressful and takes the fun out of building it, which if I am honest, is probably the part I enjoy the most!

Trouble is Alex, I don't get things done if I don't have a deadline.

All that IS the fun of it Wil. I remember last year putting new thrusts in my engine and finishing at 2 in the morning only to get up at 6 to enter concours.
A couple of years ago i remember driving 200 miles at around 3 in the morning to run in a new crank and shells 2 days before avon.
THIS IS THE FUN.

I seriously doubt it!
