D-Day minus 7

Having found out that the RTA are now licensing trailers, I decided to replace some broken lights and get it legal. The lighting socket on the car had never worked properly since being installed by my garage, but after some great help from Jason we finally sorted out the dodgy wiring.  Now we only have to find someone in the RTA who knows how to get it registered...   The road car's registration was about to expire, so that's now done.

Dropped into Mebar to check in progress with the Beast.  The air box was being installed while I was there, as was the remote reservoir for the power steering.  The front axle is in, and the oil filter reinstalled.  Word is that tomorrow I can take it to Dynoking for tuning.

Stickers are ready, so soon the Beast will sport our trademark yellow chequer once again.  There's a possible shakedown run on Tuesday, when our old friends Mike and Be hit town.

Meanwhile, the Hail Rally is in progress. My mate Emil Kneisser is currently 7th overall, Yahya Belhilli is out with gearbox problems, leaving Yazeed Al Rajhi's Hummer way out in front after 2 days.
