Well, the order process was simple, and in many ways I am still getting over the disappointment of placing the order and not having balloons falling down around me and fireworks going off outside. It was happening in my head, but Dave Smith assures me they felt like balloons were coming down around them when I place the order.

A few days ago, I made the final payment on my base kit. Where I come from, we would say crickets bro'. Meaning you say something funny, or something monumental happens and all you can hear is the crickets (grasshoppers). I kind of feel like that now as the realisation of the fact that I have to build the car next dawns on me.

Still a few bits to go. I'm holding off on wheels, tyres, exhaust, air conditioning and soft top till I know what happens. Engine and transmission is going to have to wait (Stack systems are EXPENSIVE!)

Mark Dougherty will be picking it up in a weeks time. He's doing the under car exhaust and the LHD to RHD conversion + a few other custom mods for us. Can't wait to come over in a few months time and spend a week putting it all together.

Sadly, we will have to pull it all apart before we can ship to to the UK and begin the build process all over again.

Only 4 months to wait...
