Love the Elite

Looks like Howards old S4?

The natural choice for a British sports car

Yup. Agreed

Very nice indeed

One of the very last of the old school entertainers. That he maintained and extended his appeal across so many generations is a testament to Brucie and one of the few remaining true National Treasures.

Well, the contract is owned by the French company Sanef, so no tears for unpaid revenue. As for congestion, either there are 2 million more cars a day going through there or the removal of the toll booths doesn't feel much different Northbound. Southbound seems ok?

Now that is a pretty looking Esprit

All seems a bit off topic to be fair

Happy birthday

Expensive, but for anyone that's interested? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Compomotive-CX-500-15-split-rim-and-tyres-pair-Lotus-Esprit-Essex-Turbo-BMW-/172809801345?hash=item283c444e81:g:PI4AAOSwTiRZhzKD

SJ Sportscars supply them Jacques.

Hi Peter, Not much to add to what Sparky has referenced. I caught mine quite early due to the fear of an unexpected but very evident noise. As said, the input shaft is sprung loaded so no engagement was needed. In between is a "Nylatron" Washer that sits between the flywheel face/needle roller bearing and the tip/end of the input shaft. This was quickly worn away, but I was lucky that when stripped down, there was only a fraction of metal to metal contact. Mine happened as I started the car, rather than at speed whilst travelling, which no doubt reduced the potential for any catastrophic damage.

As we were discussing at the weekend Sparky. I tend to concur as I had exactly the same with my S3 many moons ago.

Thanks for a super weekend as usual Dave & Megan. Lovely to meet some new faces and some crap pool players (But who excelled in Vodka drinking!) Great weather, great food and a great time. Now t catch up on some shut eye

Cheers chaps. I will have a word with Steve nearer the time Appreciate the steer.

Thanks Ian Not ready for carpets quite yet, but needed a good source for when I get that far Did that include the boot set as well? Thanks Paul

Did you buy a carpet set Ian or just re-trimming yourselves?

Well Im quite sure your not slagging off my car but your own, which your quite entitled to do

Just ridiculous. Cheque books ? Postal Orders? In this day and age.

Ooops

Nice.
