Car is now back on the road. Thought I'd treat it to a new gear knob to go with its new gearbox.

Just a little something I turned on the lathe during my break on nights.

Hy Tom!

Fine so far except the lack of time I had the last month due to founding my own turbotechnology company....
Not very much happened to my own cars in the past unfortunately.

So I got this through the post the other day. Turns out despite my dissapointment with my times at inters, I still managed to win the diesel class on the Saturday, and came 4th on the sunday, to a Q7 V12TDI (2 drivers) and a very quick haldex mk2 Golf running a hybrid turbo and lots of nitrous. Not all that bad I guess. Hopefully get the car right and get myself back into it to really shake things up next time.
