Some Friday 4.30pm distractions...
The title on this article is hilarious "Nothing Screams 'Substance Abuse' Like A 1980s Gemballa 911 Interior". I've never seen such an over the top interior! http://jalopnik.com/80s-gemballa-int...uis-1710628236
And some more mildly tuned Finish Pcars: http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/06/...ed-in-finland/

Our wallets tremble at the thought of gearbox or engine problems. Ripco tried to charge us $350 for a Brake Master Cylinder. I walked out the door with one for $144 now on to YouTube to make sure I get the install right. The other drivers are very trusting...

Haha I got a spare gearbox for mine for $40 off Trademe, including LSD, just stripping and inspecting it before I bolt it on alongside my broken gearbox, which I will repair/recondition and have sitting there as a spare.... haven't had a lot of free time (nor money!) to 2kCup stuff since getting engaged with wedding planning and stuff but I'll be at the 800 for sure, then giving the car a birthday before the start of next season proper!

Nice *****. There, it's been said.
Nothing like close running cars to bring out the red mist. We will get John M to the track in the R. Might just take a couple of months to wear him down.

Might take longer than that. I just been given my draft schedule for the period to 31 March 2016. NZ, Vietnam, NZ, Australia, Korea, NZ and Australia. To top it off they put me down for Wellington when the SITT is on, despite being given a preference to keep that clear. I also suspect Korea will clash with part of the Festival of Speed. The clear message is to take the track time when I can get it, but not get too hyped up about particular events, unless I do something rash like resign.

That timing is a bit sucky. Still jealous of the quality of pho cuon and bibimbap you're going to be scoffing John. As you point out though, between RSG, PCNZ, 2KCup and the rest, we're lucky to have a smorgasbord of motorsport opportunities to hand - so you're still sure to be getting your regular fix of speed and intrigue one way or another.
Speaking of projects Walter I've fitted the new brake master cylinder. I bench bled the cylinder using Castrol React as I figure we're going to flush the whole system again with SRF. I've also fitted new rotors, put in half used Endless pads and new rears. Given yours and Neil's safety is at stake I think it's a good idea to get that flush done by a professional. The brake cylinder work is not difficult but it's on a critical system

I'm still positive that some of this won't eventuate so haven't become morose. Not sure about driving to Queenstown for a weekend, but flying is an option.

For those who may not have heard BTW, Hayden Paddon is still leading the WRC Italy round in Sardinia after stage 10. Great to see.

He was aiming for top 6 going in, after finishing eighth in Portugal but it looks like his new paddleshift is agreeing with him!
Here's his 20 minute back story from motorkhanas in minis on up:

SITT numbers confirmed with Playdays and deposits paid by all but a couple of RSGers currently travelling offshore...
We have 17 on the tour with a couple of ring ins for Highlands.
Its going to be a great trip. Next up is accommodation. At this time looks like there will be no need for high levels support - its seems most machinery being taken is fairly modern.

I put in my preferred dates, as did others, but leave isn't confirmed until the schedule is finalised. I've learned not to get wound up about it as dates change. The nature of my work is that it's easier to get weeks off than days as I simply don't participate in a review.
