What does your Europa look like *today* ?

And it's just the beginning!

My son snapped this on the way to the barn for cleaning.  I may have to leave the rear deck off more often:)

She's just gorgeous, Dean! Great work!

Your Europa is simply stunning. Gorgeous!

Impressive car Dean!

It wasn't a great day weatherwise, this image is making the conditions look a lot better than they were on the course ;-)

Come on Stephen, you've got sunshine, blue skies and possibly a gentle breeze to keep you cool, what more could you want ?   

A good day on the track ?

It was largely cold, windy and wet.
But I did win the class and get deep into the top 10

Congratulations Stephen!


The weather may not have been the best but I bet a "bad" day driving your car beats a good day at the office!

Well done mate, it sounds like you're improving all the time. Did you take any video this time ?

I was a bit tongue-in-cheek about the weather comment. In the background there's something like a tent or gazebo that looks a bit like the leaning tower of Pisa so it doesn't look as if it's the weather I always imagine for down there. (sunshine, surf & barbies)

Not too pretty at the moment LOL But it's coming along. Hope to have it done by the end of Sept. (my Bday)

Interesting! That's an aggressive schedule! Good luck!


Are you going to reroute your ventilation? That fuel cell blocks most of it.

5th run at this event, 4th in the Lotus, 1st time out was in a 1930s Austin 7 single seater.
For the Lotus in class: 2nd, 1st (new record), 1st (new record), 1st (wet/damp/windy/cold.....).
Outright in the Lotus: 16th, =14th, 11th, 6th.
I wanted the hat trick but also wanted to drop a few more tenths from the record, so will have another go next year.
Was about 12-14degC on the day, 27degC and sunny the day prior.....

Actually yes I'm going to cut about 6" off the tank. It's a 17 gal & I really will probably never need that much at any one time. I'm planning on intakes either side of the radiator opening & 3" ducting back. The time table is doable if I keep on it. I'm disabled/retired & can work on it every day. I generally put in 6-8 hrs every day.

Half way through the paint - should be on the road in 4 weeks - hopefully  :-)
