  6. I don't blame you - I'd lååååååve a Model 40-C! :-D Hope to see it irl someday. :)

    Better check in properly. :D
    Nothing much going on here, except "12'eren" needs to be upgraded to new Rømø requirements, so on the install-list is;
    - lap belt - got a back seat lap belt out of an old Jeep and just picked up some chains at work, and
    - front brakes.
    I also need to check my MC helmet against raised demands. I know, it's safety first, but I can't help feeling, that it looses abit of it's soul... but hey, better inaccurate racing than no racing!
    But that also stirs attention away from hopping up the G28T - just haven't got enough hours in the day! ;) So, later that'll be (again!). :D
