As you can see, no expense has been spent in the shuttle conversion, the ablative heat shielding has been added to the nose of the orbiter. Unfortunately, we couldnt find any real ablative heat shielding, so we're hoping the man at the duct tape factory was having a good day as the car is wrapped in 75 meters of the stuff!

Moving round to the business end of the car, you can see the main drive engines have been installed. Once again no expense has been spent. Extra care was taken to achieve a look of understatement during this stage of construction, so much so, that it might look like three spraypainted flowerpots have been cabletied to the boot. Dont be fooled though, this modification alone will be more than capable of achieving the required 11.2 kilometers per second necessary for escaping the earths gravitational pull.

The interior has not escaped modification either, with the CapCom (capsule communications) suite getting installed today. You can keep your satellite comminuations, for us its CB radio all the way. The only downside of this was the aluminium roof preventing the aerial mag mount from sticking. The remaining 25 metres of duct tape was pressed into service and now its not moving for no-body:smash:

Major Ballache, Major Misunderstanding, Major Pisshead and Major Malfunction are your crew and their mission objectives have been set.

David Honess is fundraising for CLIC Sargent - JustGiving

Despite the millions spent on the space programme, all we need to acheive lift off is 500 pounds sponsorship for the rally's chosen charity, CLIC sergent. We are currently running at 360 pounds, so anything you can spare would be gratefully received!

P.S. Without wishing to hammer the point home, but some donations would be very warmly received. If everyone who has viewed this thread had donated 2 quid (the minimum donation allowed) we'd have made our target by now. Please donate!
