Looks pretty good actually.

Even if there are occasional showers, with temps in the 20's it'll dry out in no time

Just been speaking to one of my colleagues in Munich. It is currently 28c there and the sun is shining

The scoob won't like lapping the ring if the temperature stays like that!

Same here, knackered today, one final push on the car to finish and hopefully enough time for a quick wash.

Just about done. Go pro all charged (no idea how to work it mind) all relevant bits n pieces printed and in a folder. Just need to pack a few clothes. Also found out a way to end droughts. It seems every time I wash my car, just as I finish drying it, it tips it down. To think I was, not ten minutes before, cursing the weather as it was drying too quick and leaving water marks,hahaha.

I'll wait and see! How many times has it said it would be sunny and it has rained and other times it has said rain and it has been fantastic. Is looking promising though!

Have you managed to sort the broken coupling? Hats off to you, I'd be in all sorts of trouble if I had what you've had to do!

Yeah it's only on the airline for the tools, needed die grinder to open up a hole for the brake hoses to mount to, as braided ones slightly different. Jo not very happy with me at moment.

You've done well mate, should give yourself a pat on the back. Will all be worth it when we're sat at the ring this time tomorrow

See you all in the morning!
