Well the carb is back on, our entry for the Edinburgh has been accepted, we are doing class 0 again, and I have found a roll cage to go in. The roll cage is from one of Andy Corner's old rally Skodas, its a bit rusty but some hammerite and kurust will have it ready to go in.

The carb was full of crap again so I have now added another fuel filter between the electric pump and the carb. This means there is now a sedimenter pump between the tank and the mechanical pump, an inline paper filter between the mechanical pump and the electric pump and a paper filter between the electric pump and the carb. If crap appears in the carb again it must be being teleported there by aliens. the guy who dismantled and cleaned the carb said the crap looks like ash from a fire and asked if the Skoda had been burnt at any point in its life.

Our Tin Award from the Land's End has turned up. It has mine and Lauren's names on it, which is unusual for an MCC trophy, but I asked specially. I'll take a picture of it and post it on here.
