    Must be time for an update Jezz?

    I've just watched a video from 2017 of you and the Nova at Shelsley Walsh, looking great with revised wheel arches?

    Hi Colin, I thought you had seen the arches, been like that for a good couple of years. Shelsey was fun but gearing way too long and rear tyres way too hard, that run was a bit cautious as I nearly put it in the barrier on the previous run!

    Not touched it since really other than a Trackdays at Brands I got kicked off for noise .

    Hows yours coming along, any nearer being finished ?

    It’s getting closer in a ‘3 steps forward, 1 step back’ kind of way.

    I must post some updates on my Project thread.

    To be honest I’m struggling with motivation at the moment, I’m sure when I get back out racing I’ll be fine, but at times it seems like a disproportionate investment of time and money to fun factor.

    Probably not helped as I’ve been helping a friend race his Fiesta in Classic Touring Cars this year, and it’s been a disappointing season to date.

    I get the same. Feel like mine is constantly broken and costs me a fortune every time. It’s all worth it when the racing goes smoothly, but nail on the head there with fun / time / money not adding up.

    I know what you mean, I haven’t had the time or motivation if i am honest, I have done my licence this year so hope to get out at least once. Trouble is the car is not as good since I changed a few things that I can’t reverse, they will be better with a few adjustments that I just can’t be bothered to do!
    i think you just need to get it to a stage you can use it then I’m sure you will find your mojo again

    Jezz, Craig and ktown (sorry, I don’t know your real name) - thanks for the thoughts. It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one who feels like this from time to time.

    I will get it finished and out to race again.

    But if after a realistic trial period the car (and/or me) aren’t on the winning pace then I reserve the right to sell the lot and buy a very silly motorbike. It’s gone through my head many times already!

    Don’t expect to be pushing for honours straight off Colin, Im sure after a bit of seat time it will come though.

    it would be good to see you back out in it, I think we all fall victim to the desire to keep improving them rather than just getting out using them!
