When I took the car "for a spin" last weekend, I did in fact take it to Brett Sims Motorsport new workshop to have him install the engine he has just built for me over the last couple of months
.
Been down this week to clean the engine bay and bits before the final install and start up
. ( thanks for the iced & cream buns to Brett and impromptu visitor, Mister Pop
),
Hoping to get it back next weekend in time to get some miles on it before The Lakes
.
Excited does'nt even come close
.
What a top top guy and a top top job
. Brett has assured me it will give me a "spirited drive"
