No massive news to report, the Camaro has been for a timing tweak with EDA and is now running much better. Still a few jobs to tick off the list over winter:

- Getting the splitter recoated then PPFd
- Rebuilding the front brake calipers (rebuild kits have arrived)
- Alignment with MAP
- Order body bushes and replace

The Camaro has been taking a bit of a back seat with work getting in the way, so this week I took a few days off to head up to Scotland with the pup for her birthday. I figured it'd be a good trust-building exercise with the 300C that I'm taking down to Cornwall next year. So with that, a few pics incoming. The lens broke on the first day so I've had to really fight the equipment to get these in the wind and rain up there biggrin























The car was absolutely faultless, swallowed the trip up with ease and even while making progress through Glencoe in the weather, the pup was fast asleep on the back seats. I've really grown to love this car, I can see why the owner base are so obsessed with them! For good measure, a few photos of the mini wolf having fun in Loch Linnhe.









With the little cottage we were staying in:

Ravenworks rebuilt the front brake calipers and repaired the headlight buckets which had cracked and dropped out (meaning the headlights were literally being held in by the wires!). This seems to be one of the few parts I can't get new in the US, so having the lads be able to fabricate this was a lifesaver!

Hitting a pothole was the final straw for he bucket which snapped clean off:
