malloryA little vignette of an RGB/750 club paddock:

I took my cordless drill to Mallory, as I always do. I didn’t use it though. However, two other people borrowed it:

  • Adrian was having cat problems, again, and used the drill to hack out the remains of yet another expensive waste of money
  • Andy borrowed the drill to help him repair the bonnet of an MG Midget that was racing that day, although clearly not in an RGB race.

I don’t know about you, but I think that’s great.

DSC_0087There’s quite a lot of good photos around of the race at Snetterton. The one shown here was taken by Derek Jones’ Dad at Russell chicane. That’s Tony just behind me, thankfully.

Apart from starting to make a big list of things to buy, do and design, I started out with clearing out the garage. I’m going to have to try and build the car with the Fury tucked in the corner of the garage, unless I can find some other convenient way of storing the Fury. In the meantime, I know this will work as I originally built the Fury while the Dax was still in the garage, and I think that was wider than the Fury is, even though it was a se7en-like car.

car-garden-021Back home now with the Fury, I’ve been taking the time to check carefully the engine installation that we did in rather a rush in the Brands pit garages. Alarmingly, the propshaft bolts were, not loose, but not exactly tight which is a bit worrying. All the same, the car should be easily back together in time for Mallory which isn’t for a month yet.
