...at least she will be on Friday 26th.

That very nice chap Martin at Racing Green will be fitting Nitrons all round and carrying out a service on my Griff 500. Then she will be all set up the drive to Le Mans and for all the other driving in 2004, yippee.

I am quite looking forward to finding out ow much of an improvment a good suspension set up will make to the Griffs road holding manners.

Then at some stage it will be a brake upgrade and then latter still a session with Mark Adams and some goodies from ACT.

Seriously talk to Tim at ACT before you decide as some of his inlet offerings can have a very On / Off throttle switch nature if you get too greedy..

I did indeed have a very good bonus, better than I was expecting, so a bit will go on toys and a bit on the car and some for Linda to spend and the rest goes in the bank. It almost makes me feel that my company appreciated the work I did last year

and what do you mean get my hair cut..yours is longer than mine

I am looking forward to the transformation. It will be quite interesting to see what level of difference it makes.

Pre-cats removed plus baffle sleeved = best sound for pound.

Dave, are you taking it to Snetterton?

Luca, where's the DVD?

I pick her up this morning, I can not wait to see how different she will behave, but still it is a nice drive back.

Shame it is raining.
