and all through the house…..
…were piles of tools, bedding, camping gear, spare parts and assorted flame retardent clothing….

all seems well..

vwsp21 aka ollieslammedbay has his bus back with an engine, MOT and road tax

and he has a new pair of fireproof boots, care of Kevo…
(i blagged them off kevo as a freebie at the AGM last december and i finally washed them and tried them on… call me captain flipper feet!)

vwsp97 is ready (ish) with its new window graphics (picked em up this morning and apart from being the wrong size and wrong material they’re great…

got the bus tuned up yesterday and ran a diagnostic and cycle test on the injectors and the coil pack from the laptop… seems that they’;re all ok…

it’s running better but still lumpy and very rich… the fuel consumption is astronomical.

i even got emily tuning the bus…
she’s keen to find out about it all and thinks she might like to be a car designer and rally driver. superstar!

the major result of the race car preparation is that the headlining cloth turned up and i was out in the dark last night fitting it…

🙂

priorities priorities !

so, i think we might be nearly ready…
off to Santa Pod tomorrow morning to get settled in for a long weekend of racing at the Easter Thunderball. If you’re there then come on up to the pits to say hi!. it looks like we might be a bit more organised this year, we’ve even got **ed** and Mr. Zwitter crewing for us so i know we’re in good hands and i can so my usual stressed headless chicken thing knowing that someone else will be there to tell me what my nake is and remind me how to tie my shoe laces.
Ed has also promised to do a dj set out of the two buses (we have a clever plan for wiring the two of them together to make a mobile PA system) so

onward and upward! time for a bath, a swift beer and an early night!

See you at the ‘Pod!
