small world?????????????

or not that many crazy people like us?

like i said i saw the seats and they are clean, no wear
i picked the dash up for my other new project from a little back
street garage and the man told me somebody came in with a nova with
a let engine in it and wanted the engine out, and he was able to keep
what was left of the nova to sell.

are you getting all the rest on the interior
if you look at his feedback for him on ebay
you will see what i paid for the dash!!!!!!

I can't wait for our "little" tour to the UK! I'm going to get 2 polyester doors and a couple of 4mm lexan windows for my little nova dragster.

So after a good 3,5 hour sleep I picked up Pastry yesterday morning at 05:00 CET and we drove off to Calais to cross the Channel via Eurotunnel.
We picked up my interior in Crawshawbooth and met up there with MattBrown and 16xe_chris. Chris made up some glass fibre doors for Pastry and Matt picked up the new door, bootlid and sill I brought him from OCP. He also picked up Mark's side skirt sills.

After a good chat we left Matt drooling around a Lotus Omega and drove off to Nailsea to pick up lexan windows at ACW. Had sone fish n chips in Nailsea and a cuppa tea at Tony's and we headed back to Folkestone.

We did some 1125 miles in 24 hours yesterday. But it was worth it.

Wonder what I'm doing next weekend... LOL

It was a great day and night! I've made also a little report with some pics.!

So Vlietje had the same problem as me, How to get parts from the UK to the mainland. Vlietje invited me to come woth him to the UK to just get the stuff. It was an nice trip!


The train in Calias (Froggy France)


30 minuten later we were in the UK.

Because we where a little bit late for our train we drunk a nice cup of tea. "no milk thanks" at ACW. Very nice people. And to get some food culture we stopped in Nailsea for
Fish and Chips with salt and vinager. In Holland we don't have that.
hmmmm

With a full car we drove back.




After a nive 5 hour sleep..... I unwhrapped my presents.. Santa came in time this year.



A big wors wors to Vlietje who drove 22.30 hours!!!! I drove 1,30, I'm not used to big cars ;-)
It whas a lot of fun meeting new people and I'm really motivated to go to Billing with my GSI c20xe TB.
