Safe arrival

The container was cleared through Her Majesty's Customs and delivered to Setford Racing. Noel was there in time to help Robin unload. All well!

Action replay!

He has done it again!

Lotus gone. Gemini gone.

So, he's bought a Mini! A 1966 Downton Austin Cooper: the only original Downton enhanced Cooper in New Zealand.

It needs a tidy up, so with only days before he departs for his first leg of the Formular Jumior Diamond Jubilee 60 year celebration, Noel is cleaning, painting, oil and filter change, new brakes and generally fettling the Mini Cooper.

There's no stopping him!

This is the life!

Cars gone now and time can be spent on Waiheke Island surfing the net for car/racing events and information.

Delays

Delays to shipping container mean a tight schedule at the UK end with no room for any more delays. Fingers crossed.
The garage at home looks forlorn without the stars. Our driveway is tidy.

Loading the container.

Hot day and hard work! Everyone helps. Trailer with Gemini first. Followed by the Lotus and Robin's Mini Cooper S (they bonded and he couldn't leave it behind).
