UPDATE TIME:

Well as always, a week before PD the finger has come out n doesnt smell nice. Started some work today, with the help of a Buddy Keith. Also had a nice visit from the Famous "Arch Rival" Jh. He did some seriously mega arch work today on my new acquired free arches(Thanks Cian & Noel). I fixed my dent from the Portlaoise gate rub or crash and rubbed the car down for paint tomorrow. Few other jobs and im all ready, graphics go on next week.

Big thanks again to Jh, some serious Arch Work, would recommend the man to anyone. Sound to deal with and likes Centra Pizza. Few pics, will get up the finished Product once its painted and has its Graphics.

Stretch?

Bit of an Update after Pd Round 1.

The car now needs a new front bumper, light and nose but ran great all day. Qualified 20th in Non Seed Pro, was in my first Battle against Brian Cotter. I knew it would be a challenge as he was on the button all morning. I was running Toyo T1r's, (Big Thanks to Hanover Tyres for sorting me with these) first time running these and i can say they are very very grippy. A bit too much at the pressure i was running and i think that led to my few errors which gave Brian the win after a one more time run. He drove so well, sticking to me like a cat. :) I was happy with the car, so roll on Fermoy.

Want to thank Alan in www.onestopweddingshop.ie for making Ennis Possible, also Neil & Team at www.acesigns.ie for the Great Job on the Graphics on such short notice. Also to Mike at www.barrysmotorsport.com for looking after me too. Thanks to Keith Nevin, Eoin H(MrMagoo) and Niall Maccarthy too for all the help before and on the day :)

Few pics from the day..........
