what have you got left to do

Post by duncan »

to the car before the ring trip?

For me it is:

- sort out knocking rear supsension (today - hopefully)
- throttle coolant feed re-route (next wed)
- gearbox oil change (next wed)
- engine oil change (next wed)
- check brakes (saturday)
- get a fire extinguisher (monday)

Anyone else dreaming of driving around the circuit yet or is it just me :D ?
