Man, France for a month? That's a long time away from Helen, more job than you want maybe? I've got the perfect gift lined up for you guys, apparently it will have to wait until Feb. to be used. Thanks for the Xmas goodies, you know my weakness for chocolate is terrible!

Here's a little compilation I made up, if I keep on doing this I'm going to need a bigger harddrive! I didn't know making videos was so easy or I would have done it a long time ago!

Funny to look in the engine bay and not see anything!

I took her down for an alignment yesterday, and to my delight and surprise, the specs on the front and rear suspension are almost perfect! They were so close to perfect that the alignment guy actually told me how impressed he was with how well built it was. I was really concerned that I'd be off quite a bit, I'm not a fabricator, so I thought the rear end might be way off, but I guess I did OK.

It's just a temporary thing so I can drive it around without worrying about wearing the tires poorly and it feeling twitchy. The alignment specs are for the car in a static position, but in April it will be going to www.huffakerengineering.com to have the geometry gone through during bump and droop to decide whether or not the rear will need to be rebuilt and what will really make this thing handle awesome.
