The balance is where Whitmarsh said they went wrong last winter. Lets hope they get the sums right this year.

Any sign of this picture of the burgundy nose cone, I really want to see it.

@goony: was it painted this colour for a particular reason or did someone just go mad in the paintshop?

It sounds a lot like the ferrari of a couple of years back - not sure how Ron would feel about that :)

ive got more pics but they are all stuck on my phone im going to get a new 1 this week and ill try and get another pic of the burgandy nosecone
what else do you want pics off but be realistic i wont take any of the 25

:lol: it was a tongue-in-cheek remark since u work there, mate any pics you're willing to share from the inner workings of the factory would be a fantastic insight for us all and very much appreciated.

perhaps more pics to do with what you specifically do?
