… and I’m not sure about the rest!

But a quick update anyway…

HANS Device: After being let down in the loan department (odd as I was offered the loan rather than asking for it), I’ve hired one from Evo Rally Parts. One less thing to worry about.

Helmet: Well, it looks like the person I bought the helmet from for Paul has at best been slack, and at worst has ripped me off.  Odd given that he advertises a lot, has a company as well as his Motorsport shop – Paypal claim has been initiated, but it’s left me £233 out of pocket, and more to the point, without a HANS-equipped helmet for Paul.  So it looks like I will have to buy a new one, which is a) expensive and b) not ideal.  Grr!

Tyres: These should be with me tomorrow – providing the seller hasn’t been ‘economical with the truth’ I should have enough tyres for the event, just got to get them swapped over which is easy enough.

Stickers: The final ones should hopefully be with me by the weekend – if not then I’ll have to give a number of people some money back!

Other than that, there are just a few little bits and pieces to do – the “To do” list is pretty short, with only one job actually being more complex than a simple bolt/screw/clip on (which is just a small alteration to the mapping, should be easy enough to do in about half an hour).

And that’s good news because on Saturday… I shall mostly be navigating on the Tempest rally, with Tony in the 205!  Nothing like a busy week’s rallying!
