Another New Year!!



                                     Burlington Diary January 2010.

Mon.04.01.10. Over the festive period the whole of England has been paralysed by snow as well as ice. Roads have not been gritted, hundreds of cars of been abandoned, villages cut off, everywhere is at a standstill; likewise the project. I would never have thought back in another life in March 2006 that I would still be involved building this fucking car.



Fri.22.01.10. After several visits to Robinson and Douglas, principally to ‘sound out’ Kevin regarding the ‘corner weighting’ of the Burlington but also to keep him sweet for garaging the vehicle since mid December it is obvious that winter inertia is well and truly confirmed. Typically Kevin cannot remember why the car has been taken there in the first place; he is also baffled regarding the failure of the electric fan. I must confess that it is my major worry; without the fan the car cannot be driven, the road miles cannot be achieved, the project has ground to another significant halt. 
Tomorrow I leave for a well earned holiday to Tenerife for three weeks; I hope to return with renewed vigour in an attempt to ‘fix’ the fucking car. We perhaps need fresh targets or maybe another ‘programme of work’.
