Gregor Motorsport Honda K24a Lotus 7 Custom Build Six days at McGregor Motorsport always creates a smile on my face, even with unexpected issues, delays it’s the successes keeps the smile. Having Scott the owner keeps us on task and the ever entertaining Warren coming to help Mark and I tick off our daily to do list. In two weeks I am back in the factory and the car will on its wheels; electrical being finished by Scott helped by Robert, Mark setting up the suspension, it’s a great team.

After driving more than 30,000km’s in my Orange McGregor Lotus 7 Replica I knew what worked and what need to be improved. The old doors needed to be replaced so with a large piece of cardboard I began to draw my door. The angles and concaves needed to be far more subtle, and the same curve being used created a far more aesthetic and functional door. Mark was fantastic, slowly seeing and approving my vision with compromises being reached….a great day five indeed.

The last day at McGregor Motorsport in Christchurch, New Zealand. It’s been a great six days in the Factory with Scott, Mark and Warren, excellent progress and looking forward to December when I come back again. Certainly clocking up lots of fly miles heading towards the 2 Million Club.

Day One:

Once again back at McGregor Motorsport in Christchurch, New Zealand. The final assembly is underway with the floor pan. It’s great to feel that we are on the way to having the car completed nearly on schedule. I am back in December for painting and upholstery…

1^st April, 2017

This is not really about changes to the build but to my life. I recently turned 65 years old and this is the mandatory age of retirement for professors in Japanese National Universities. So, duly or dutifully I went to my retirement ceremony and then left my keys and walked out of 12 years of being employed at a National Japanese University. Were there moments of concern on my drive home, not one that would detract from the next chapter in my life? However, this may well have been influenced that I was driving my 1986 Porsche Wide Body RUF Non-Turbo home. So cars once again, will gain for more attention as I allow the month of April to settle into this new chapter.
