I understand completely! A good friend of mine just swapped cars with me for a few days. My Cayenne S for his Mustang Boss 302 (with special red track key). HOLY oh hell his car is fun. I'll make it a few more days now. Hoping Daffy is ready late next week. I'm going to the shop tomorrow to check on the progress

Top end goes together today - everything ready to go.
Sounds good fun. Next week - envious!
+964 would love to see a video. I'll try and make Rockingham - as a spectator.
EDIT: Just realised that's next week - highly unlikely

Whilst being constructive on my Saturday found this nice cross section diagram. 
Needed to buy hard drives for work - saw this in PC world, sold. Made by Lacie and within the same price point. Very nicely engineered, usb 3.0 1T - they also do a 3T desktop version.
At this rate it'll be in time for Christmas
Lol

Update:
Just got a call from nick.
* Long block is now together
* Flat slides still working progress.
* Cams and towers should go in by end of week.
* Rockers are being shot peened.
Nick has a customer car that has come back with the same cams specs that are going in mine - he'll be taking readings off the car to see there applicability to my car.
