Moles T-5R (Project Olive)

[MoleT-5R]

Well it has been a while since the last update, thought I'd better let you know how I got on. Olive did very well and pulled a 13.8 with all standard trim fitted in the car on the Saturday, but with spills and an accident holding up proceedings, runs were limited and were also limited on Sunday too, with most of us only getting 3 runs in the day, so no real practice time to get into the groove and get a good run. We didn't get to try the new solid shocks as all time was spent queuing for our limited number of runs on both days. Although I managed to beat Tim Williams on the Sunday, he got me back in the return race with an awesome 13.2.

Since then Olive has just been my daily as and when I've needed her and is awaiting a pre season overhaul to sort some niggles and fit the new sensors. New wings would be nice but finding anything the right colour that isn't fully of rot, seems very unlikely, so new fronts will be required, but that then means paint so will be a big job and other stuff should be done at the same time, so that will wait a while longer before she gets a full going over. So here's a few shots from shakey and some from The Mad Welshman who got some shots from a different angle to what I normally have.

And it was also my fiftieth and what a night that was, bonfire and fireworks (courtesy of Shakey I should add) and thanks too the lads for turning up to help me celebrate in style, although this may have hindered the times on the sunday....lol

I also got my arse handed to me in a XC90 drag race with Mr Sideways, the v8 is some what quicker than the d5...lol
