Just shattered the passenger window. Driver's side for those in the UK.
How's a right-handed bloke supposed to rip clean powershifts when he's sitting on the wrong side of the car?

Yep, plus there are other bits and pieces.
I'm despairing of having it ready in time. Bleeding the clutch hasn't made the racing slave cylinder begin moving yet, I haven't gotten the engine cranked yet, and this morning my father died in his sleep.
OTOH, I may be spending 3 months 160 KM SW of Oslo very soon, where my fiancee's family lives.

What to say.......My Sympathies.
I remember vividly the day my Dad died. It was a long time ago now but it stays with you.
