Let this be a lesson to all those saying now that they cannot make it to next years ND as they have a bulb to replace.

It's all in the mind!

15 minutes! Love that :cool: Proper mob-handed, PMT style :) Fair play to the guy lifting the 'box into place - Not the lightest of parts, even more so when you're on ya back.

That exhaust note is to die for :smokin:

Reminds me of the time I decided to convert the blue clio 16v to manual steering the night/morning before a sprint. :crap:
Finished corner weighting and tracking it up at 3am then home, pack the car and be at debden sprint at 7.30.am:laugh:

That is impressive, late nights and last minuit fixing go hand in hand with motorsport, lost count of how many times I have worked all night on my car the night before an event.

Once before a pod day I was putting my cylinder head back on at 2am didn't finish till 4am home for 6 then set straight off to pod, drove it all the way there did 20 plus runs got pissed and slept in a tent then drove it all the way back, issue free also:smokin:

now I have kids I can't stay up past 11pm:ashamed:
