Name: Paul (storer), Location over Christmas - Home in Cambridgeshire with a lot of relatives and friends.

Comment: Hate the commercialisation of Christmas but love the food and drink. May get a bit of time out in the workshop putting in more insulation etc, so that I don't warm that cold northerly wind up too much before it gets to the Algarve!!!!!!!!!! 16 deg????Pah

I can have the temp in there at what ever I like but for every extra deg it costs about £4 / hour so 7 deg it is then plus thermal undies.

Festive felicitations to you all.

Location: currently Shipyard dry dock Barcelona, most of the year Antibes France.
Comment: A silent observer as a dreamer of the Ultima - (stupid me acquired a Cat R500 instead so I have to worker harder and longer for the Ultima!) I have been reading this forum for some years. A bulk standard 350 sbc was good to start with, now want the lS7 in my futuristic build. However following Gulf LS3 developments with interest. A special hello to GT Wayne if your watching - hope all is going well, whats the latest with the car?. I wish you all the best with your toys for 2011 at what ever stage of development they are at. Interested in the next few years to commission a build with one of the many knowledgeable builders out there.

All the best, James.
