| Ready..
Well, the waiting is over. Last night I took my maiden voyage in the Daytona. Felt weird and I am still buzzing from it.
All being well, I'll see everyone in Newhaven later and the rest of you over the next few days.
I'm not making excuses in advance but there are a few probs. Last night the fuel pressure regulator decided no to work properly and whilst I wont be able to floor it, this means throttle acceleration with a feather so that is being looked at.
The car is not trimmed, which maybe a good thing as the side screens are'nt quite ready so it if does get wet, there wont be any damage caused.
There are still a lot of finishing bits to do which will be done once back but it was important to get the car ready for Le Mans. I honestly did not think I would be going in it. So, its a big thanks to Ian and of course Roy and Jez.
The car is mental!!! Whilst in the yard, the side exhausts kicked up dust creating a menacing feel. The car rocks and rolls whilt stationary with decent throttle blips. It's not noisy but it sounds great.
I am also without 240mph speedo as it is mechanical and I require a mechanical converter but these things can come later.
Cheers guys. Worked very hard.
See you boys en route.
