House move very soon so car will be on backburner for a while. May get a cheap V6 4th gen for summer use and do a complete overhaul on the 68 over the next year.

Will keep you informed with pics

Cheers.............Tim

Hi
My plans are simple-
Get Organised!
now finally divorced after 5 years of legal battles (only married for 5 years before that) I now plan to get organised, and get really fit again.
Although I have to find another ridiculous chunk of money to give her in March
Cars
Butch-- fit new dry sump system with engine in good time before Manx Classic 21-24 April
Camilla-might get her nos matching 327 refreshed using all the parts off Butch's engine- needs better water pump, all that great windage tray stuff to stop oil pressure loss under braking (Happened at Chomondley)
CJ-- my 360 CID v8 1979 Jeep, need to change fanbelt and tidy up- perhaps quieten? Been used as daily driver in the snow- with the Quadratrac it is BRILLIANT in snow
Daisy- my latest acquisition a nos matching 1979 V8 Jeep 304 V8 with manual gearbox only 29,000 miles-- get it MOTd in UK and eventaully through the Manx Test- not easy!!
Big Red-- 1991 Hartge H26 E30 BMW roosting in scottish barn-- get on trailer back to IOM for a retest as tax has lapsed (we don't have SORN on IOM)
On the House front
I am investigating CO2 friendly and more efficient heating systems
You can get £400 grant towards a new boiler (in UK only) if you have a working inefficient one- details Energy Saving Trust 0208 683 6655
Am looking at a mini hydro set up for Scotland- big freeze = big energy bills, and we have a burn right by the house

Off to South Africa 4-17 Feb- without car this time mostly business
Skiing in Courcheval gf has chalet there in March
Easter in Dorset
Manx Classic in April 20-24
End May Highlands
May-- possible Spa entry
Chomondley Pageant of Power 17-18 July

Various exciting developments on the business front- despite troubles we grew by a quarter last year
I think I have waffled on for far too long! But you can see I am busy!
