[Anonymous]

That's be great although that said, I can't drive my car hard for a while due to the need to run it in  s:) s:)  

Anyway car is ready for pick up so hopefully this weekend. Patrick will put some more miles on it this week

[Sadlebag]

Wahoo!!

[MrStev3]

Bet you are like a kid on Xmas eve now

So close

After all the disappointment so far I'm not that excited actually! More apprehension than excitement

[MrStev3]

You will get your rewards ten fold as you've worked so hard and had such a nightmare it should be satisfying as bath salts to a homeless person in the tub

I get frustrated when wrong parts or companies mess me around so you my friend have coped well considering  s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:

Patrick had the car in the air checking it over for leaks etc, all good so far



I liked the idea of the undersealing he did on Sandra's roadster so while it's still there, I asked him to do the same, good for longevity and much easier when it's up in the air,  not on the garage floor at home!



Looks much better  s:D s:D

Nice one! Going to have mine done at some point might see if i can have it done with the rest of the paintwork in the winter.

It's well worth it. These cars aren't getting any younger!

[s12vea]

It's on my to do list!
Job for the winter I think, just wish I had a ramp.

[tomaky]

aii thats half the issue, it doesnt take long with the car in the air but on stands it will be a rigt ball to the ache.

[Sadlebag]

It's coming along nicely buddy. Have you sorted out a lift getting to Patrick's? If not I could possibly help as there are a few things I want Patrick to look at!

Thanks for the offer, but I'm out all day on Saturday with my partner, so hoping to go from Southampton to Patrick's when we are finished, she can drive my car home and I'll drive the MR2

[Anonymous]

Long day yesterday but the MR2 is back home  s:) s:)

I'm sure Patrick is glad to see the back of it ( and me!)

Drive home was fine, although a little loud  s:D s:D  

250miles down, 250 to go before the first oil change. I've got some Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5w40 and a Bosch filter waiting!  

Lots of steady driving to do....where shall I go!?

Also need to give it a good clean and take it for wheel alignment, it was never done after fitting the coilovers

[tomaky]

Welll, what you doing the weekend starting 29th July?

[Anonymous]

Flying to Cork to sail a 50ft X-Yachts around Ireland for 10 days  s;) s;)

[tomaky]

Sigh was going to invite you to the big swap weekend haha

[StuC]

Tom, if it's a weekend in July or august then Mark is on holiday. That's the easiest way to remember it!  s;-) ;-) s;-)  

Mark, great to see you are up and running again!  :-) :-) :-)

What can I say, work decide to close and not pay us for the first half of August, might as well do something fun  s:D s:D

Spent a quick hour on the car, gave it a quick wash, mopped the headlights and cleaned the inside (it's amazing how dusty they get sitting in a workshop)











Have spent all day digging in the garden (not a euphemism !) so not had a chance to add any more miles yet!

Glad this has moved forward in my absence.
Hope you hear lift very soon
