build diary

October 10, 2006: The Seven is living in a temporary home - as am I.
I have to walk by the poor thing every morning as I head off to work. Non-stop rain means I can't take it out to play. It's starting to drive me nuts!

Thankfully, I'll get some chance for some fun in the next few weeks. This weekend is another Corvette autocross. Then two weeks later, a Red Rock Racers autocross. The weekend after that, a two-day event at the local track as well as a one-day event in Pueblo. Oooh, that's a tough choice to make. Since we take possession of the new garage - sorry, "house" - a day or two before, I think an out-of-town trip is out of the question. If the rain lets up, I might have to go for a blat around my local roads just for grins. One of the local hidden twisties just got repaved. Hmm...

Something that might be entertaining. I've become involved with the build and possibly sale of Miata-based Westfields. This means that I have access to all sorts of interesting details. One thing I've put together is an online configurator that lets you play with options. The kit is a bit out of Locost territory, but it's about half the price of the equivalent Caterham.
