esCarpade 2016 - Day 0 - Scrutineering

The first official morning of esCarpade had arrived, and Damian and Adam woke to find that it had rained reasonably heavy overnight... 


And continued to rain throughout the morning...


On their way out to get some coffee, they found a bird's nest chock full of birds!!  Even they found the weather a bit on the cool side!!


Usual checks were performed (oil, water etc) before heading off to scrutineering...


Having been checked off for scrutineering - the Ambos checked the first aid kit, spare tyres, jack, jack plate, safety triangles, vests etc, then the mechanics checked the items from pre-scrutineering (which for Booger Mobile was that the diff pinion seal had been replaced) - Booger Mobile sat on the street hiding amongst the other entrants...


Damian found FAV 2.5 unattended, and snapped the obligatory selfie...  Adam was nowhere to be seen at this point...


After scrutineering, Damian had received the official esCarpade name stickers to put on.  One for this spot at the front...


Lining it up...


Sticking it down...


Smoothing it out...


A picture of concentration...


And unhappy with the result!!


The other sticker goes on the rear window on the driver's side...


The shadow of 64 is still visible...


Damian going for it again...


Sticking it down...


Unhappy with the position, so peeling it back up again...


Before sticking it back down.


Well, it's no Picasso, but it's on there!!


Now people won't be confused about who they are driving behind!!


The official stickers aren't really doing it for Damian, so he thinks he'll have some new ones made up for himself next year.  ;-)
