    I was fed up when my car was off the road for 2 months...

    Hope you get it back soon and can use it after such a huge investment. I'm sure it'll bring a smile to your face

        I don't know to be honest, it's just been put on the back burner and to be honest I've had no interest in getting it back over the winter as that's not when I want to be driving it. But I've asked him if he can have it ready for spring/March...

            I went up and saw it today funnily enough, they've been busy doing some wiring for all the switches and buttons and stuff.

              haha, I guess the word “busy” was a typo?
              Thought this was almost finished a year ago?

                Yeah, it's beyond crazy isn't it. He said he's working on it every spare second, I said "Been hearing that for 3 n half years William!" He just said "Yes, I get that, sorry". He said I did request the most complicated system in the world! I'm just numb to it all now. I can't allow myself to believe any predictions on when it'll be ready. I'm just trying to sell parts from my crashed RS2 to pay for it all!

                  I guess Will just doesn't have many spare seconds lol.... Is it me or are those switches not in line?

                    The switches are in line but the weave of the carbon effect is slightly out of line with the switches... as far as I can see anyway. I'm not particularly concerned about it.

                      I should point out that whilst Will has taken a long time here, he says he's put in a lot of time on the car for little jobs he's not billed me for plus he mapped and dyno'd my 335d for free the other day. Some may argue that's the least he could do, but he's certainly not obliged to and it's something I very much appreciated. And despite all this time I do still get on very well with Will. Just thought this was worth mentioning!

                          Possibly, I'm going up tomorrow to see the car, to take some parts for it's final finishing jobs. However if the roads are crappy or if it's wet or if the roads have been gritted then I doubt I will take it.

                                Well, after repeated disappointments, a recent post by Dave from EPS Motorsport on his Facebook page has given me renewed optimism... here
