Thanks all of you for your comments. I'm a bit slack when it comes to finding time to post updates, so I must thank Clayton for his input.
It's been along haul to finally get to the track and it performed impeccably. You are right about your comment on the power Brian, it's actually scary. The only problem is me getting used to the Albins Transaxle, which can only be resolved with time spent at the wheel.
I have to thank Clayton for his time he has given and all his assistance and advise. Here's a couple off photos at the track.
I'm off to New Zealand for Christmas and my Son's Wedding, so I'd like to wish every one a Merry Christmas and a great new year.
Udo.

You could be proud of what you have been able to built and organise as a project and effectivly can give a thanks to Clayton ( this invaluable friend )
Enjoy your christmas and bedding time !!!! and remember ...... Do not put pressure on our mind when driving your car , just drive at our peace and not trying to be overhelmed by power .... this will drive you onto bad rail situations .....
Ha ... remember also I have ready for you a nice CAD drawing for a brand new alu monocoque M6GT ha ha for your next project or may be for Clayton car project ) LOL

Hi Udo. Congratulations on an outstanding build, the car looks superb, just like our M6B! I am sure that you will have plenty of fun with it in the upcoming years!! If you ever need any more McLaren parts for it dont hesitate to let me know. Since we last spoke, I now also have all of the original Trojan factory moulds so can supply any of the bodywork parts. If you are ever over in the UK please call in, there are usually a few nice McLaren cars to look at in the shop!

Thanks Rick, Andy and Michel.
I haven't forgotten you Michel, if you can just wait till after Christmas.
Regards, Udo.
Hi Udo, Car looks and sounds fantastic, I'm sure with time in the car it will get faster and more fun to drive.
Don't know where in NZ you are going but if you are near New Plymouth give me a call if time permits 0274229493.
if you are in Wellington give the new museum "Cars Inc" a visit some cool cars and mine is hiding in there as well.
Hope you all have had a good Christmas break and have a good New Year.
Regards Leon.

Thanks Leon, but my son has moved from Wellington up to Whangerei, so the furthest south I will get is Auckland.
Will you be getting your car out of the Museum when Andy has his car going? would be something else to see the two of them on the track at the same time.
All the best for the new Year to you too Michel. I'll talk to you soon. I've just got back from N.Z. and being the wet season, I've got a few chores to do.
