Just a read from the beginning of this thread and what a journey to here so far.

Great L6 tone and something to savour. Well done

Hi Imogen, wont be anger for some time, maybe a mild jog!

I had set my sites on the Taupo track day as a target (as was last year - albeit a little closer this time round) but my wife has a wedding to do that weekend so looking unlikely

Maybe a bit far for a shake down too!

That's a pity.

I'm seeing what other more motorsport orientated events we can brew up for the summer time.

Slow slow progress over the last few months due to a tractor build but with that 90 odd % complete time to crack on with some race work. Car was dyno'd and just minor things to complete before a shakedown run, the biggest job being brakes which have sat untouched for maybe 10 years?

Dexta all done for now just minor trivial things to finish - time to put it to work!
