A wet Friday in Japan

Editing the blog is my connection to the build, after each phone call to Scott the mind starts to kick into gear and ideas flow quickly. I was just looking at my four days in Christchurch at McGregor Motorsport and thinking how fortunate one is to be able to have such a project.

I certainly miss the hands on, the sounds so familiar in a workshop, the banter between friends, problems that arise and solutions that resolve them. The sparkle of enthusiasm, the smiles, a sense of accomplishment, all combine to make this so worthwhile. The next few weeks will be very busy with so many small tasks suddenly transforming the build. Our goal is to have a “mock-up” ready for when I am back in New Zealand. This will be the time to start the engine for the first time, a great moment.

So, at my desk a quick edit of my last day in the workshop in December…roll on March 2017!
