Well yes Frederic. If anything could have gone wrong then it did, including right to the end in missing my flight home!
Anyway back in Blighty now.
A great trip to France rounded the job off nicely. Thanks for your hospitality!
In my red wine fuelled Oscar acceptance speech above I forgot to mention another great helper, Janet ,my missus ,who put up with me sloping off to the workshop all the time and thinking of all things Stratos far too often.. Ta babe!
In the nicest possible way...I bet you are glad to see that one gone John.
Frederic, my hat is off to you sir. Patience of a saint. Glad John was able to get the car sorted out for you in the end. Hopefully you can now finally start to enjoy the car.
Thanks Chris,
yes, in the nicest possible way I am glad that particular episode is over.
If I could have got ANYONE else who was involved in the first two years to take any responsibility for their total failures it might have eased the task, but sadly, and so far (because it ain't over just yet....in fact if any of you are reading this... it's not started yet!!), no one has.
The saving grace is that I was working for one of the nicest chaps you could hope to meet.
I do miss the old girl already tho'.......
But, I'm taking six months out of Stratos building, and at this moment I'm not totally convinced I want to go through it again.
Thanks Chris
When you have a dream, waiting a long time is not a problem if you think it'll realize finally!
If a Saint is in this story his name is JD who spent almost 3 years of his life for that is becoming true!!
Hope John you don't give up and you'll build your own for driving our both cars on Turini roads!!
