I'll get a battery tomorrow, put my spare seat in it, then give it a wash. After that maybe I should leave it at your place the following week while I complete my report. Otherwise I suspect I'll be making too many coffee breaks to the garage Those of us working need to focus. You might be able to drive it to Motorscience and get the history if you are at a complete loose end

Always up for driving OPP's.
Got the T back today after doing without for a month. Box is great and a few other small details sorted. Fast run on Highway 22 for the drive home.

So the T is the weapon of choice for the road trip?

Not sure. LHD when we will be overtaking plenty of traffic, Loud, nice paint but fast and fun.
Leaning towards the SC at this stage. Might come down to the long range weather forecast.

What happened to the cream colored accents behind the headlights?

They were temporary for the motor racing festival. I kind of messed them up when I put them on for lack of experience and stretched the sides of one making the black line wiggly, not to mention the trimming around the gas flap. Good to change it around every now and then. Planning a PORSCHE script and tape lines around the bumpers next.

Thanks Mate, I found the Dunlop's pretty good but these should be interesting. Never run R888's before.

Can't remember. I was the one taking the photos! Doug has buttoned off faster track work though so I'll have to keep you honest
