Is anyone else interested in cars and motorsport?

How you getting on with repairs?

Slow...I'm not having much to do with it at this point. (being my brothers car, not much he wants me to help with!)
Got a new door and wing on, and he's pulled out the A pillar mostly, but not quite sure if its good enough.
Still not quite sure if we're keeping the shell, or going to re-shell it. We've got at least a couple of months as its the summer break as far as the rallies go now.

Meanwhile what I'm learning to drive manual in:

What model is it?
How are you finding manual? I have only driven autos a couple of times, and to be honest really don't enjoy it. They just always seem to change gear at the wrong moment...and I keep going full force on the brake when I think I'm going to the clutch. lol!

I'm actually learning to drive properly in manual instead of auto.

Best car to learn how to drive is a classic VW Beetle.

There. I said it.

Not so much into cars, but definitely into bikes! Again, not really customization outside of functionality - I ride regularly up in the mountains on my street/B bike, and then have my race bike.

Do nearly all my own work on them (valves, transmission rebuilds, and everything else) except internal suspension work. Haven't had to take an engine itself apart yet either, although at this point I would probably tackle that if it seemed worth my time and effort.

I like bikes asw, but mostly the CB600F.

I just had an engine built, and did a transmission swap at the same time. Might fire it off today. I'm looking at 425 horses and 500 on torque. Gotta love Ole Cast Iron!
