Posted 07/04/04 10:03 AM Author Share Posted 07/04/04 10:03 AM So far its been a disappointing week. I've been looking forward to this week for a long time, I'm not very good at waiting and lately I seem to be doing alot of waiting. :( On tuesday I finally dropped my "T" at the auto place. Plan was 1 1/2 days at auto place and then 1 1/2 days at injector place. Good plan. Tuesday afternoon plan starts to unravel. Injector place phones and due to some serious personal problems the car wont be able to be done till next week. :( I cant be upset because I have no doubt that the personal problems involved are alot worse for the people involved than my car not being modded for a week. Still it means I get my car back wednesday afternoon. Wrong. The auto place phoned me today and said that the auto mods are complete and the car is fantastic to drive. Wow I thought this sounds great. Then I get told that after being completed the auto shifted a bit hard and that the valve body had to be slightly remodified to make it less hard. This has been done and apparently the car is awesome. The problem is that because of this the trans cooler won't be installed till tomorrow morning. I should have the car about 11am. I tell you I have never waited for anything like I've waited for my "T". 4months for delivery, 2 months for the panel beater, and now 1 month for Ford to decide I need a new auto then 1 day to fit it. Now a week for these mods which takes us to this Tuesday 6th April. Now I have 1 sleep for the auto and then next Tuesday for the car to be dropped off for the injectors then next Wednesday afternoon to pick it up. I do know that its helping my customer relation skills, I have alot more patience now and feel the urge to physically harm people alot less often.Geea.

Posted 08/04/04 05:58 AM Author Share Posted 08/04/04 05:58 AM Just picked up my car. I haven't driven it much yet as I got things that I need to do. Initial immpression is its great. You can feel each shift but its not harsh. I kicked down on the freeway to change lanes and it was fantastic. I'll give a more detailed description when I've done a few more km's of various driving. Its bloody good to have "BOOF" back I missed him. Now I just have to wait till next Tuesday to drop him off for the injectors. Geea.
