…. after all the crapness of recent.<\/p>\n
First up, I’ve got over the defeat, and now have a plan. I’m getting a couple of low-mileage Fabia 1.4 8v engines, so I can put one in the car and run it standard for a bit (using Megasquirt ‘n EDIS to do the ignition), and get everything going. This means I will have more CCs (so more grunt), and a better-flowing head. It also means I’ll have a spare engine which I can rebuild and tune without having to take the car off the road\/events. Nice. Hopefully.<\/p>\n
Anyway, as you, dear reader, will know, Paul is my new navigator. He’s a good mate, and an all-round good bloke. He’s one of these really annoying people who is lucky, and good at everything. He’s good at Pool (which is how I know him, really), good at Diving (he taught me, which was nice), he’s good at Poker (regularly getting seemingly impossible hands), a hit with the ladies (basically, everywhere we go he’s either worshipped by an ex, or I see women nudging each other and pointing him out), he has a fantastic town-centre Penthouse apartment (flat does not do it justice) – complete with rooftop balcony and hot tub, he does alright money-wise, and so on. Basically, if he does it, he’s good at it. He took to navigating quickly, and will no doubt get better once I get the car able to drive for more than half an event at a time.<\/p>\n
However, I have finally<\/i> (after much searching) found something he’s not<\/b> good at: Putting stickers on! Whenever he has to do this, it’s a total mess. At Caerwent, we had to put high-visibility numbers in the rear windows for safety reasons. Here’s my side:<\/p>\n
And here’s Paul’s best effort (in twice the time, no less!)<\/p>\n
