Hi and thanks for the comments :angry2:

 

The colour is in the metal flakes of the gel coat of the fibreglass rather than a paint job, so makes it much harder wearing. It really comes to life under flourescent lights and bright sunshine.

So where's the photos of the 430 Tony?!

 

It was a "no show".... Apparently the preparation for this weekends racing has gone to pot... I have all the tyres/ wheels at the centre for this weekend so i have a horrible feeling the car will appear tomorrow.

Days are getting "samey"...... I must confess the adjustments using shims is becoming much easier to math, this 288 i had to the nearest 1/60th of a degree front and rear :D

 

In fact we had five Ferrari's at the centre today :D it was like a mini-meet.

Being surrounded by Ferrari's - its a hard life... B) B)

 

Actually it is... Calibrating to such a high standard constantly does your head, these cars have non existent tolerances.... Plus fitting a tyre on a 2k wheel makes you very attentive!!

Need i say anything......

 

No you don't. I want that one, where do I have to steal it from? :huh: Loads for sale around £250,000, that's a bargain even without carpet.

One of the spectators mentioned the tyres and the owner said there really hard to get now.... I said not for us, we can get them, he then explained the fronts are impossible to get to which i explained i have them in stock :huh: ..... Needless to say he bought them there and then even though his fronts are fine.

Wow...that's stunning :D

 

I'm getting complaints from company bosses at the park because we keep stopping their staff doing their work :D

 

I wonder why! :D

 

 

Because whenever there's an F-Car, Tony does the geo in a mankini...
