I have more low mileage engines in stock if you happen to need another sick

But I'm sure it'll be fine and all this is just coupe paranoia which you have more right to have then anyone else in the Coupe community smile

2 thing, one good one bad has happened lately

Good: in my 1800 a few years ago, i had allways a wing mirror spider, i had my 20vt for 2 years and never had one, and now today a new spider found it's home in my mirror, gave it a welcome with a mosquito so it'll definatly stay

bad: a little screw made it's way into a tyre, but time enough to fix that before Spa

Everything is coming together with military position. Car is mechanically ready as it'll ever be.

If at the final hurdle my Coupe is unable to come, a back up (the Stilo!) will suffice!

That said, most eventualities are covered for and car is about 80% ready. Can sort the rest next weekend.

Food for thought, you might want some blind spot mirrors - might help increasing the field of vision you will have (bear in mind you're going to lose sight as it is with a helmet on). Mine are on order smile

Oil and filter changed today.

Car cleaned and waxed then put under a cover until time to load it up on Thursday.
