I have come to my senses and realised I do not want to be in the leasing or rental business, but I am 100% sure I can find a much more positive use for this car.

So I can feel special now as I got Bill to join in.
Grattan with a new Larry Campbel shifter in my car will be great, I am looking forward to having more than one gear in my car.

Do we know yet if Grattan will have an open practice day on the Friday before the event. A few of us will have cars that need tested before the event.
Remember once you have the oil in the tank have the engine running or just turned off when you check the oil as the oil tends to run back into the engine after a while and you will then over service...
