[Paprika Leather Dye]

Just a heads up......

I've just ordered some for my car to do the drivers bolster.....

They've still got it colour matched and a touch up bottle comes in at £35......

The new/uk name for what was Gliptone

[Drivers window]

My window stuck the other day on the way down.......

Or rather opening the door it dropped as normal.......

Went back up when I closed the door......

However when I tried the switch.....nothing......

Opening and closing the door the window still drops and rises on closing......

Question......if the fuse has blown would the drop still work?.....

If not I presume the switch has gone......

Thoughts?

[1974 ELITE TEST CAR]

from what Ive seen there are lots of different photos.......some with....some without......

mine are body coloured at present but its been repainted several times......

what I think I might do it use plastidip to try it out.......https://www.plastidip.co.uk/product/aerosol-spray

if youve not seen this stuff.......its like rubber paint.......and if you dont like it you just peel it off.....

[New Exige 410 Owner Cheshire]

I use Oakmere all the time......cant fault the guys down there really......a top job every time

[A journey into track days]

@cdcowho runs the Blyton day......is that the intro day that LDC do?......

[A journey into track days]

Colin

Its the Lotus on Track event and its October next year......lol

I know.....nearly 12 months away......

I like Donington.....ive been round there a few times.......and Cadwell always struck me as a bit narrow for a novice......lol

[A journey into track days]

Colin,

Looking at Oulton Park

😁

[A journey into track days]

I have suggested to the wife that for Christmas Id like maybe a track day......

now I dont know much about them having only previously done 2 as a 2nd driver........so not much input other 

than driving round

my questions are basic really.....

for a novice do I go open pit lane or sessions????

Im gonna get an instructor....and I cant see if the instructor is for the whole day or just for one session (if on sessions)....the one Im currently looking at is open session....and the fee £25........that seems very cheap for a full day hence why I cant really see its a 'whole event' fee'

and I suppose the final question would be insurance..........whos the best both price and cover wise......

thanks

[Regular Service....and MoT]

I honestly can't fault Lotus and my Lotus dealer .........

Needed my MoT as itd already been move from May

Service, health check, MoT and lots of other bits.......tracking check, clearing air bag light (flat battery)......

and then the big job.......new door latch.......

£750......bargain ......I'd set myself up for £1k with all the other bits added on.........but service was £200....MoT £50.........the rest was all the other bit I'd asked for..........

Can't fault it.......well done Lotus......Well done Oakmere

Just thought I'd share.......
