Stress!

Stress 1: Car - is now with New Best Friend Geoff in the Dandenongs suburb of Melbourne; the borrowed fuel injection unit has been removed, and that along with my own unit has been delivered to some Injection specialists in N. Melbourne - then we went to the Zoo (great zoo, by the way!). Injection specialists are talking about a shortage of parts and it taking the sort of time we don't have ... impressed upon them the urgency of everything - have to see what happens. Sensibly though I have started work on Plan B - it looks as though we can get an injection metering unit set up for my camshaft, and into Jason's luggage before he gets on the plane next week from the UK - hopefully that'll be a spare but you never know ... also seeking a spare fuel pump, just in case the fuel issues cause any knock-on effect - unfortunately the pump i use isn't exactly available on the corner of every street, but i am 'pursuing several lines of enquiry!'

Geoff is also going to give the car a pre-Targa check-over, as it ran very rich over the weekend an oil change makes sense. Geoff will also bleed some brake fluid through and do a couple of minor jobs - all things i'd planned to do at Phillip Island during the downtime - but that got swallowed up by other activities, stresses, and chatting. I told you I'd be famous for 15 minutes, they even put my name over the Pit garage, and i was intereviewed on camera too!

Stress 2: WiFi, multimedia and all that jazz ... bit of a struggle at present, this is being typed on an exorbitantly priced hotel lobby PC - hopefully i'll have the chance to upload some photos, in-car footage, and do a proper report of the meeting when we get to Auckland tomorrow.
