It's been like old times at Bluebird Project headquarters today. Skin pins & rivets in our Ford RS200 chassis. ๐

With talk of an engine going into K7 here's how to do it. There was never any reason to take it out again, of course but hey-ho.

This week's RS200 video is up. We've been getting bolder still with the resin & making more good progress.
Our Aussie cousins tell us that RS stands for rat droppings. Not far wrong at this stage but it's getting better.

All that remained of our beautifully crafted canopy after it went airborne & destroyed itself on K7's first fast run. In trying to fix one problem we inadvertently created another & blew the canopy off. We never got to chase that gremlin out.

Ems is taking on the challenge of her first EVER drive of a car being in the RS200 at Elvington.
She has only 3 weeks to master it whilst not being allowed to drive a car, at all. We have a plan.

One of the Scania 113โs I used to own.
The new Volvo FH Aero is what I would have had now.
Back in the day when I owned trucks, Scaniaโs were the machine to have. But now I would have been buying the brilliant Volvo FH460 I-Save Aero had I not sold my outfit a long time ago.
