Re: My new track project
That's a pain.
How about looking for some sponsorship to finish the project?

I used to work at jag on the engine build, test
As the engines went to bridge end I chose to take my redundancy
And did quite a bit of travelling ,
I then returned to jag employment about a year later on a temporary contract
I then heard one of the managers was setting up a company to which I moved to
But I still work at jag sites as I know the cars and more importantly the managers of several key areas
I may be moving back under jag employment have to see how it pans out

Well if all else fails, there looks to be a good business opportunity in making carbon fibre panels! (not just for Dollys though!) good luck!

I am putting the first front spoiler i made on ebay as i want to moddify the original a little more

I only made that one to see how it would come out as i didnt want to fit the back part to it and it works ok with just the front,
I bet its the only one in existence !
