Anyone else panicking to get their car ready?

[Fatboy]

I'm in the middle of a mad panick to get the Mini ready for Pistonfest (otherwise I'll have to turn up in the panzer), and was just wondering how many others are in the same boat?

[Bonce]

Yeah, I've gotta figure out how to get the golf clubs AND the missus in the Elise.

[PetrolTed]

That reminds me, I must sort out the catories for some competitions...

Get a trailer, then you can put the golf clubs in the passenger seat.

Errrrr.....this preparing the car for PFest, although it will be clean when I set off, my car will be covered in dead insects upon arrival.

Just looked at your profile. Looks like your car gets washed and polished at least once per week

I'm in that boat! Car is at the paintshop now, with no windscreen, seat, belts, lights, exterior or interior fittings, engine or gearbox. But it WILL be ready for this Sunday, and fettled for the 'Fest

I'll still have to turn up in the Jeep though...

I was intending on leaving all the Le Mans dirt on the car... if so it will definitely be vying for the winner of "Pistonfest's Most Dirty Car".

[DennisTheMenace]

The Kwack might get a wash , but then again i might leave it and bring along some Dorset wildlife still stuck to the front

Mines been in the menders, since late May, and he's only just got around to starting it this week, should be OK though, just a few coggy bits right!

Great idea - at Goodwood most of the Le Mans cars are shown as they finished the race, all covered in crap and bits hanging off!

[rich 36]

Tony, is it still sporting Brunters grass stains too?

[minimax]

I'm not panicking...just slightly apprehensive - the mini is getting it's FIA rollcage in on wed, an oil change, and a new o/s/f wheel bearing. I have still to buy the bloody rollcage

[Fatboy]

Thought you'd already bought it Tom? Fitting the rollcage isn't too stressful, as long as you've got a mate to help...

Bloody foglight's just packed up - got to try and find the fuse

[ultimaandy]

I've whipped the engine out for a dyno session on the 26th.... I havn't got the friday off and I intend to be there on the Saturday morning.....


I recon I'll be living on beer and pro plus by Saturday night.
