Got to change a diff joint on the landy
Involves dropping the nose of the diff off the axle which is a heavy lump then lifting it back in place which will be great fun
Anyone want to come and play at the secret motorsport facility?

I've got zero technical ability and no muscle but I could hold some spanners if that's any use.
When were you thinking?

No so sure
but need to do it before sunday when i have an offroad event
but saturday i need to move a sh*t of concrete slabs
friday i am delivering uldis's new drive
Thursday i might be picking up uldis's new drive as the quarry is probably shut friday due to easter stuff
maybe i should get my finger out
i think putting the diff nose back in might be the tricky bit though i have access to a forklift so i should be able to work something out
basically it is i have the tools and the space if anyone else needs any wee jobs that need doing but i am not an elise expert
though i think Obi must be due a spanners and sponges soon

Yes indeed it is Easter after all.
My spare se7en is stuck on the ramp and needs dismantled and stored.
then there'll be room for someone else
Anybody up for a session here this weekend?

My inlaws are up for the weekend.
Let me consider for a tenth of a nanosecond.
Yes.
Did I say yes? I meant yes. Or maybe just yes.

NB - tenth of a nanosecond is one tutosecond, for info. Measured as the time it takes one Tut to pass a Sunday Driver.
NB again - The time it takes one Tut to pass one Scotty or one McKean is called an ofukotutosecond.

I'm concreting the garage floor on one of the days - but would love to be involved in the stripping of the caterham - would give me a much better insight into the mechanics of it all.

In that case........
Looney lever needs fitting
Gearbox and Diff needs oil changing
Steering column bush needs replacing
Starter needs some TLC
