So, with 2010 over and the decision made to sit out the majority of 2011, what does a Kutukan do with himself? Find a good woman and settle down, or build another race car? Both involve anguish and financial ruin, but the car does at least follow a predictable set of rules and logic and won't inexplicably sink her teeth into your index finger in the middle of a perfectly pleasant night out.
So we set about another car, a replacement for Christine, who was our hire car until she got so fast that hiring her out was simply illogical, it would merely have become a mechanism for firing rookie drivers into armco at speed.
Anyway, here is her build story. A more relaxed build, as for once there was no wreck to re-shell, this is from road car to race. By "relaxed" we mean "fast, difficult, and painful."
This is NOT the new hire car. A paintjob even we rejected.
