I had the kakkest week in a long time. My knee started to swell op, and my foot turned a nice shade of purple. Dr not here. Suffered thru Tuesday, and went to see Dr on Wednesday. She proddes and hummed and haed, then said sorry, but this is going to hurt a bit. (Spel that: A LOT....) And then she drained half a litre of bloody fluid from out my knee. AND sternly told he to go lie down flat on my back for a couple of days, if I do not want to die suddenly of a blood-clot thru my heart or brain. Got my full undevided immediate attention. Sheeeet, and this have to happen when I have so much work. Anyway, work progressing nicely without me. Both Safari-frames covered halfway by chila-time this afternoon. Will go to work on a wheelchair on Mon.
To boot I lost a very dear old friend in a car crash. His funeral was this afternoon. Right now I am emotionally drawn, and I feel VERY tired. Have a nice weekend.

Boet/KFA, would this be an option if you don't want the bmw option in my opinion its safer to have a dedicated engine, HKS Turbo Engine :idea: :?:

The safest option is the known option, something like a 912S or a Jabi 3300 but I believe that the BMW will be up to the task. Oupa G has done extensive testing on the engines and I am really impressed by the results so far.

Ek dink daar was lanklaas 'n projek wat deur so baie van ons gevolg en ons bekke laat kwyl. Boet moet geluk gewens word met die moiete en updates.
Hoop net die "injury on duty" is gou iets van die velede.
Sterkte
