Not sure how I managed to miss September's instalment, Tony, but my belated condolences. September sucks for me, too, for exactly the same reason.
On a much brighter note, I'm genuinely delighted to see the open heart surgery was obviously successful. If the powers-that-be have determined that you can get your license back, it's clear they're happy with your progress. More power to you, mate!
On with the modding!
PS: Have I mentioned how awesome those "redback" seats look?

Fantastic news mate :thumbsup:

Carbon trims sound excellent as well. Looking forward to seeing how they are made. Knowing you I cant imagine it will be as straight forward as 3M wrap...
You got it Doc no 3m wrap that would be to easy

Love that! Not a fan of the aluminium and that looks class!

Was it a full removal and hydro dipped?

Was about to say its a stunning job if it was hydro dipped, but now it makes more sense. To be fair I've seen Jamin's hydro dipped carbon bits and it's a very good half way between wrap and real carbon. Well far superior to wraps anyway.

Looks awesome! The second photo I'd consider concealing the chassis no though.. only as a precaution.

might work better with audi techs????

I find black magic is more effective if you are specific in the sacrifice...chickens are soooo generic.

"Chop their heads off and drink their blood"?! You Englishmen take your Druidic heritage WAY too seriously! And, sure, using actual Audi techs instead of chickens would be more specific, but there's a couple of issues that make that option impracticable (here, at least) - Audi techs aren't as common as chickens; and, in order for the sacrifice to be really useful, they'd have to be good techs. Those are rarer than hen's teeth, and their sacrifice kinda spoils it for the rest of us.
So, chickens.

To make the sacrifice useful, we could chop the heads off the useless buggers who kept telling us the oil burning was the owners fault and it would be eleventy zillion pounds to fix it.

Oops.......Audi Oz are still telling you that, aren't they......

Err, yes, it appears that that's exactly what they're doing. Clearly they've missed the whole internet/global communications thing, and are still blundering along in the mistaken belief that no one knows what's going on in other parts of the world. So dumb.
