Wiscombe hillclimb and the 120 mile drive to Devon this weekend is fast approaching. It should be a very good test of all systems!......

Tuesday Evening
Fitting of the body back onto the chassis is going well with just the fixings to finalise. Have fitted a couple of original Curtiss aircraft exhaust manifolds today to try and quieten things down a bit - just too noisy on stub exhausts for both the occupants and the neighbours! The manifolds have made a huge difference and I have run it for about half an hour in total today, the engine is settling in well and when warm ticking over at a couple of hundred RPM on all eight cylinders.

Looks very fine indeed, will there be a spare wheel on the back - and where does the sandwiches go?
Buzzard I has MOT at 4.30 - tests round Asparagus proved a little hairy, front brakes have now been adjusted - engine pulls like a train...
See you at Petersfield...
Good to see you are driving to the event Ben. I thought class one road cars had to be taken to events on trailers.....
not enough brake adjustment caused the Buzzard to fail MOT - also failed as i don't have spark plug holder. more late nights to get it sorted...
Mors looks even better now painted - same colour as my front door!
