Blenheim then down Wairau valley is shorter and should be faster

Looks a bit different from the last time I saw it. Russell left it at my workshop after he fell off and broke a leg at the GP. Still got titanium fasteners all over it ?

Be interesting to see how Jake goes on it - his old man killed the one I built for him, LOL.
