Default addition from the other side of the paddock

A quick poll on Saturday Feb 14th 2009 to see how many CMP projects are being worked on today.

With Corowa just over a month away I was working away on the F15 and it occurred to me there must be several other people and projects being worked on at this very time.

Below is an incomplete list based on those I could think of quickly who would be doing the same. Please feel free to amend or add to the list, you don't need to be preparing for Corowa. How many of you are working this Saturday (wherever you are in the world)?

Please add your name, location, vehicle type and the work you're doing today.

First Victoria:

Default Does worked on it all week count?

Interesting activity spot check, Feb 9-14 reassembly of the engine for my C60S which broke a valve guide. Got the head back from the machine shop with new guides reassembled the engine and started it on the test stand.

Oh yes I'm a little ways away from Corowa or about as far as you can get.

Cheers Phil

Default From over the ditch,

Work under way for the Kiwi version of Corowa in Easter this year in my home town of Gisborne NZ:

Chev C8AX GS: just needs a new Warrant of Fitness, and muffler repair

Chev C8Ax Ambulance: need to complete repairs due to broken rear half shaft,
then fit a new gasket on the exhaust manifold, and clean out the rear brakes, followed by Warrant of Fitness and Road Licence.

Chev C8AX Radio Shack: fitting furniture inside rear body, kitting out with NZ made ZC1 radio installation. Won't be on the road in time, but still wishing to show it off.

Other jobs are Getting a Certificate of Fitness for the RL Bedford, and we have already got the LP2 MG Carrier ready with work on rekitting the fuel pumps, sorting a stuck valve and general maintenance like track tensioning.

All the best with Corowa. I hope to get over there before too long.

Rob
