“Shakedown”….
by Darren on Nov.22, 2007, under Build
Most drivers get to do a rally shakedown on a stage, checking settings and adjustments and tyres, etc.
As with last year, my preparations haven’t quite worked out like that, so my “shakedown” has been driving the car to work a couple of times this week, a 60-mile round trip. And in that time, it’s been mostly OK. A couple of rattles here and there, things that I know to fix, but mostly pleasant and going OK. This is good, ‘cos it means I’ve actually slept two nights running. Here’s to a third….
Oh, there’s been some interest from the local paper’s motoring writer, and he asked for some pictures. Bournemouth has been the wettest place in the country since Sunday (handy, that), so the only place to take any kind of a picture at 10 at night is the underground garage at Paul’s place, and they wanted photos, so I’ve put one up here for everyone who’s been nagging! ‘Real’ photos should follow at the weekend, once the car is (a) finished and (b) stickered up a bit!
