Very good write up and put Bob's place on the map well (as if he needed any more!)
I thought your communication letter sent out to past customers was good too, and will be bringing my car back for the PMO's to be sorted as everyone is scared of them in Feb. :shock:

Bob has a very enthusiastic young engineer in the team and he is the new PR man I think!

Good to see a bit of bright fresh blood. 8)

The PMO's 'explode' every now and then as Jonathan says, and this needs sorting though it did calm down to the end of the season, without changing anything.... :bom:

The backfire is very dramatic and has a nice 6'' flame to go with it too.

The irregularity moves from one side of the engine to the other randomly so is quite interesting. :evil:

Thank you for that, it is a bit irritating at the moment.
Someone who knows an awful lot about 911's thinks the uneven beat could be the cam timing wrong on the one side.....that should keep me busy.
