Re: THREE Weeks to go!

Well Folks,
It looks like I have a commitment to keep.

Re: New person! -colin

For fun, stop by a Ford dealer and have the salesman ask "What kind of car is that?" Watch the puzzlement when you tell them it is a Ford product.
They don't know what it is. What a great car to learn to slice around on. !

Re: front inner fender well/plastics

I think if they are "just laying around" it's worth a try.
Don't forget your heat gun and lay them in the sun first.

Re: THREE Weeks to go!

The MC2 differential, if it ends up in my hands will be given away to the Merkur owner who appears at Carlisle and appears to have the greatest need.
Or maybe just a coin flip ? Team vote ?
