Gave up waiting for Vauxhall to get the solid brake pipe over fron Germany and went to Mileham's to get one made up. £4.50 later and Bob is your Uncle. All ready to fit.

I dont think so, im going to try get the redecorating done before we move in. I hope to be in and living there by the end of feb. There is no building work needing to be done thankfully, the only building work I have planed is to extend the garage in summer, put a pitched roof on, widen it about 4ft and possibly make it 2ft longer at the back.

Slight set back. The gearbox is in for a rebuild and to have the Quaife diff fitted. Turns out I have an M32 Quaife diff and the box I have is F23 and never the twain can meet. Oh poo.

Balls. That's a bit of a pisser, especially given how hard it was for Vocky to track down an M32 box with decent ratios in. What are you going to do? :(

Sell the Quaife diff I have and hopefully buy one for the F23 but options are limited (pardon the pun). I don't have the need or the funds for the 6 speed conversion but want the diff. Anybody want an M32 Quaife diff for £400?

HAHA no stone unturned eh? ;-)

Having worked in GT-racing in the past, it never stops to amaze me how much ... stuff people bring to circuits! From scooters, to quad-bikes, to complete hot tubs!

Team VX should have some cool paddock gimmicks also!!

Cool paddock gimmicks don't fit in the VX though, that's the problem (and just about everywhere has banned pit bikes as well, these days). :(
