Mark
Haven't commented on your thread for a while for fear of commentators curse but have been watching in awe.
So sorry to hear of this set back. Fingers crossed it's "sort out able" in time. I was looking forward to seeing your handy work.
I'd sort of promiced Thomas the passinger seat for my track laps but if you can't fix the car Cinders can still go to the ball.

Gutted for you Mark, and feel your pain...don't think the ModRod will make it to CLM either. Having said that lets see what Mr Bainbridge comes back with, you have never know until the Big Bird takes hold of the Mic.
At least you have Mike, I have Herr TÜV man to contend with

The car looks great and mike is one of the 911 magicians so it may be ready yet and anyway ready or not you nearly have your car back which is a lot better than it has been for a long time
Anyway I look forward to buying you a beer at clm

Looking on the bright side I suppose it's better to have happened now rather than en route to CLM - still a bummer though.
The car looks great in the sunshine - & will look even better after the vinyl/graphics have been applied.
Time to look forward to & enjoy your well-earned holiday.

+1 for keeping the faith about CLM, if it don't work out it ain't the end of life as we know it, will still be great to see you there...

Gutted for you mark, but at least the paint has time to harden now before you get them stickers slapped on
Still 3 weeks until clm .... You'll be there in the Porsche

Oh no. Just logged in from the middle of the North Sea and as always, yours is the first thread I check. I'm so sorry to discover this hiccup but I'm sure Mike can get you back on the road ASAP. In the meantime, enjoy a well-earned holiday.
It does look great in those shots!

Thanks everyone for the kind words - they are all really appreciated - it really feels like a team effort!
Andy lightweight nailed it really - it's good that it didn't happen on the way to CLM
The car made it to Mike's last night around 7 (Mike waited for them to arrive) and he's going to look at it this morning. On tenterhooks at the moment.
