And the temporary bumper

I'm actually leaning towards the standard look with stance...less fiberglass breakages, what do you think?

Slight colour mis-match, but it'll do for now whilst I'm on the hunt for a Final Konnexion front bumper. This way if it gets damaged on the ship it's no big deal.

So I have eventually settled in SA, don't want to do that too often!

The container was loaded with all the wheels, parts and household stuff; and the car is on the ship now. Went to street to strip on Wednesday and I've got such withdrawl symptoms from drifting it's not even funny! RynHelturus offered for me to use his car but he had to leave early and the open diff on his car didn't help matters.

The 17th May is the expected date of arrivale in PE, can't wait for it to come as I will be going straight to the first event at Killarney after it arrives! RynHelturus has offered to do a little trip up to pick my car up and drive back together...should be a pretty wicked drive.

Now I just need to find a premises in Killarney Gardens/Montague Gardens.

Counting down the damn days till I can drive the 14 again!
