Jim,

You deserve to be very proud of your daughter, law is a fairly dry subject and Sydney University is, for our non OZ residents, the pinacle of excelence for us.

Looking foreword to more pics of your build

Jim,

Congratulations on a parenting job well done!
I graduated from Sydney Uni in engineering about a century ago, and love the old brownstone buildings (not used for engineering faculty now). Congratulations to your daughter too, of course. She can join a long list of notable alumni.

PS. When I get started on my GT40, I may contact you to politely request advice.

Regards,

Dalton

Congrats Jim - just getting an offspring thru a basic uni degree is a much more demanding project that just building a GT40 ! Getting honours in Law is something else again - remind me never to get into a legal argument with you !!

Kind Regards,
