sorry dingy, that wasn't aimed directly at you. just meant it generally so that people could post up on this post why they wouldn't be running.

and no dingy, the world is not full of perfect people - but germany is

the way i see it though, you're either passionate about doing it or not. i know that i would be if i were in the country. and i would make damn sure, one way or another, that my car was ready. as tiff says, work through the night and get her done.

i just cant offord to break it at the mo cos theres too many other things i want non car related

I'm just turning up Friday night in the saff(if it makes it) and crossing my fingers that nothing goes bang on Saturday! I'll be the mobile chicane by the way with a "please pass" sticker in the back window.
