Colin the cunning

Mon.16.10.06. Most of the day has been spent cleaning, spraying and painting the rear halfshafts and hubs. Nevertheless it has been a planning day, the time mainly occupied by collating the definitive order for James Paddock. There has been another request to prepare the ‘ultimate’ work schedule comprising of the ‘final push’ to complete the car: Chris still optimistically feels that the November deadline can be achieved. With the increased input from Colin this may be feasible. But having witnessed how Colin can cunningly manipulate any working situation I am not sure if this may, in fact, retard the building process. He has a canny act of discovering new, improved modifications that undoubtedly benefit as well as genuinely improve the vehicle, but at the same time inevitably extend the overall project by several days. 
Irrespective of Colin’s intentions what ever he ‘pulls out of the hat’, does contribute tremendously to the overall development of the Burlington.
