Nah - It would only take four of us to lift it - on its side - through the
narrow door. These days we don't even have to worry about the oil and
petrol dribbling out.   Patrick's in - just need two more.

The problem is working out what all seven of Jackie's mechanics are
upto...   One to make sure all the sponsors stickers are in place. A heath
and saftey guy to make sure ear and eye protection is being worn. A couple
for crowd control.  I guess there's no need to blip the throttle - just
place the system into 'start and warm' mode and click 'GO'.  Ok - we'll
need to nick the laptop as well.

The trick is not to start it in hot weather in Australia and to get a move
on and some air through the radiatiors once its going.  Either that or flip
some steaks on the engine covers and open some beers.
