Went down to the Island for our first teammeeting this weekend and did a few quick jobs on the Volvo, including fixing the mudguards on, changing a slow punctured wheel for the spare, and applying the cars graphics.

The local rage (Isle Of Wight County Press) came over for a brief photoshoot, and I rounded off a fine day by jumping up on to the roof and buckling it!

Pics can be viewed here:

Also decided that the car looked better without wheel trims, and unveiled 13 years of brake dust build up.
