Getting ready for 3MA10

[kev131]

Now that the garage is finished I can concentrate on our upcoming annual event and what is one of the most enjoyable times of the year for me.

First and most important job is to get the latest sticker on the windscreen. These only arrived last week and 3MA would not be the same without our stickers!

I hope they won't start fighting with each other as to who wants to go to Germany .Eugene

you taking the sport this time Kevin?

[kev131]

I dont think so Nick. The journey is hard on the cars and passengers and for 3 main reasons I plan to take the Super.

It's an easier car to live with - Smoother controls, electric windows for the toll booths, non vibrating & big door mirrors, quieter engine on the long motorway stints, better ventilation, etc etc.

If there is a disaster and I had to abandon the car or leave it to be collected later, I am less emotionally attached to that car and it is more easily replaced.

My Sport is in such good cosmetic condition ....and I have added 15000kms since I bought it ....that I dont want it to deteriorate - It's a keeper! 

The downside is that when I get there and the 2 litres come out to play.... I will be left behind on the twisty bits!!

If only I had a 2000 Super - Best of both worlds!!

Come to Holland and take my silver Super 2000 Kev .

Or come together with Eugene and kidnap Marko's Racing

I'll have one less cam than you kev, so ill still be behind you

[kev131]

That's true - Maybe we can have a division 2 group made up of yourself, Eugene, Heini and myself! 

[Heini131]

Yes Kevin, i wouldt like to take part in the devision 2 group....

and as i am always saying - power is nothing without control -

greetings
Heini

After just buying the series 1 & taking the trip to Italy in it for last years 3ma Eugene aint no 2nd division player he is premiership material all the way deffo

[kev131]

Div 2 refers to power output and cubic centimetres ...not bravery Nick...I agree... hats off to Eug for his adventure last year! 

[sid131]

Kevin i know what you ment no worries

Good news and bad news,
first the good news, the car is up and running all be it a little lumpy engine at the moment.
Bad news we cant make 3MA10.
To be honest the timing was just too close to me having to return to work on the Monday, i work a 27/29 rota in the middle east and have to be back in Doha on the Tuesday so attendance at 3MA10 was always doubtfull, i did explore some options and thanks to those that did offer storage etc.
Ill take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and sucsesfull event and hope to see you next year (depending on dates).
Looking forward to the photo's.
Regards
Steve/Dawn.

That's a big shame Steve  - Can you (and Dawn...or just Dawn maybe..? )....not make just one or two days of the event..?

[kev131]

Last minute panic - Need a radiator switch for the fan - Not sure where I can source one in a hurry - Any ideas? I'll ring Ricambio tomorrow but suggestions welcome please...!
