Continued Work

October 12th, 2010 | Author: Alex

Today was another early start for the team so as to give us the most amount of time to fix the car. We thought that with a bit of luck we should be able to finish the repair jobs today, so at 8.30 we were already at Pro-mecanika rearing to go. There were bits and pieces ...

More Fixing!

October 11th, 2010 | Author: Alex

Bolstered by yesterday's fixing success, we were up at 7.30am to continue the work needed to restore the SRZero. So, after a quick breakfast of cold pizza left over from the night before, we left the hotel and headed for the garage. Toby and Nik immediately got down to work on reinstalling the anti-roll bar, ...

Suspension Fixed!

October 10th, 2010 | Author: Alex

Today was a Sunday, and unfortunately, in Ecuador this means that not many people are working. However, we had paid Victor the fibreglasser to work all hours to fix the front bodywork and splitter, and we were due to meet him today to see how he had managed over the last 24 hours. So, after ...

Getting Fixing

October 9th, 2010 | Author: Alex

Perhaps surprisingly, we all slept very well last night, and when it came to getting up we all sprung out of bed in seconds. Sebastian had contacted the owner of the Radical car here in Quito, and he was going to be at the hotel in half an hour to come and see the SRZero ...

Day of Disaster

October 8th, 2010 | Author: Alex

Today we were due to spend the day in Quito starting off at the polytechnic university (UPS) where we would meet the press and a large group of students, followed by a display of the car in the local (and very smart) shopping mall with KPMG. The day was planned to finish at 6 after ...

Day 4 of Our Stay in Bogota

October 2nd, 2010 | Author: Alex

Today was scheduled to be our last day in Bogota, and we were keen to save it for some sightseeing, namely the gold museum which is fantastic apparently. However, with so much work still to do, both from and administration side such as logistics and website management, and the work still needed to uncover the ...

Day 3 of Our Stay in Bogota

October 1st, 2010 | Author: Alex

Today was a rather slow day, and was predominantly focussed around the discussion of whether or not it would be worthwhile staying in Colombia given the volatile situation in Ecuador. However, good news was filtering through and it seemed that the government was back in control, with the borders and airports being reopened. Indeed, contact ...

The Car is Fixed!

September 24th, 2010 | Author: Alex

Very proudly, I am now able to say that the team has persevered through really difficult conditions and has been able to successfully repair the car! It shows that even when there are immense and seemingly insurmountable challenges, with some real grit and determination, pretty much anything can be achieved. Corny though this sounds,this is ...

Major Frustration

September 23rd, 2010 | Author: Alex

This is not going to be a long blog post, primarily because the day ended with a similar result to the day before, but with far more confusion! We managed to get everything operational, but unless we imposed a very odd set of instructions to the car's components, not everything would work simultaneously. For example, ...

RGE on Tenterhooks!

September 22nd, 2010 | Author: Alex

Today started like many preceding it; an early start at the garage in order to return the car to working order. We worked diligently all day without very much to report. The fire damage has now been completely fixed, and some improvements to the bodywork have been made as well. The really interesting stuff started ...
