All went reasonably well with daughter behind the wheel to the Brit car 
show I had to have this car finished for today April 18th.
She did pull over once, the fan seems to knick the oil can on the timing 
cover every now and then.
And she mentioned the low oil pressure, well it's supposed to go down 
when hot at an idle.
40 psi hot at idle works for me :)
I do have a bent rim which is kicking the front right brake pads out 
causing the car to pull on first pump of the brakes.
Easy fix.
And Michael Rowe's gift to Tiffany arrived yesterday and she wore it. A 
custom made Ladybug hat to and from the show along with her Ladybug 
Converse sneakers and a red and black outfit.
Thanks Michael, I'm sure she will thank you too but right now she is out 
cruising in the Ladybug alone since it's 100 mile round trip was a 
pretty good break in with no major issues.
She did mention something about needing a 5th gear and a radio.
So we all went to the show in 3 Sprites, it was just a Brit car 
gathering, no awards but the Ladybug did have a flock of people around 
it most of the day.
Must be those red radiator hoses ;)
