oops, done it again,
it seems that, after discussion with spencer tramm at VWDRC and with fellow akciddento bus racer ollie-slammedbay-twobuses-dyer, i’m racing at bigbang… i’m not ready, the bus is not ready and i’ve got a very busy month with several important projects on… sounds ideal… don’t think there will be time to get the turbo system sorted…

hmmm…. now that’s an idea!
ollie ‘two buses, four sets of wheels’ slammedbay came over for beer and backgammon and through the course of the evening we forumlated a devious plan… talking about racing and enthusiasm (or lack of) and the future etc talk of backgammon at bugjam came into the conversation, beer and backgammon. picture this if you can,…

more useless junk!
blagged a pair of rear bench seats on ebay and collected them… the head rests are the right type to replace the missing ones from the back of the hightop and the beach seat might be useful in the back of the panel van… we’ll see…
