The Feckin Excel passed MOT. 

A few items to sort.

3 pin holes in the exhaust which the garage are welding.

Small oil leak on rear rocker which they will reveal.

Small leak from steering pump which I'll need to replace at some point.

Front suspension bushes a little worn so will need to replace those at some point.

Not bad at all. Now to plan the rest of the work that needs doing.

Work? what work?

This made me very happy and go a bit red! In the petrol garage in Petts Wood, filling up when two very attractive girls pull up on  the opposite pump in a mini convertible. 

The driver gets out after talking to her mate and says , "hi James, I am Moneypenny"

then they both piss theirselves laughing and so did I to be honest! 

Dont get that in a porker do you.

@Dan E your post is worthless with out pictures ?

[Dan E]

I was a bit flustered to be honest. They might also have called the police ?

 

 

[Kimbers]

"Can I get a pic of you next to my car?" What's creepy about that. Just don't add "To show my mates on the Lotus Forum to prove a pretty girl spoke to me.......Can you bend over a little? Maybe.....hey Come back!!"

Best thing was they were taking the piss but in a good way!

Nothing much needs doing. Just some zebra print upholstery.

Qualified 2nd at my nemesis track  (Oulton) in manual a car without rev matching. Phew. I can still drive!

@LF1, was the GT4 a good tow car up there?

Out of interest what are you driving and in what series? Is there a thread/youtube we can follow you on?

[LF1]

Caterham Roadsport. Single make series, all down to the driver. I post a few vids here. All my vids on YouTube:

Not as good as diesel Sirocco I suspect?

I will  kill you.......................

Nice work Bibs. 

My day ended well when I came home to find my Evora back on the drive (has been having some electrical gremlins sorted). When my wife said she needed some cash, I selflessly agreed to drive to the cash point on her behalf, via a rather indirect route...

Esprit passed it's MOT again. Hasn't failed one in it's lifetime. Not bad for a 17 year old car.

[cbclotus]

Wow Dave .Fantastic ....Great car by the way"....Mike

[Mark Blanchard]

Parked my Esprit in Tescos today and someone came running up and said "fantastic looking Esprit, Calypso red isn't it."  Made my day

[andydclements]

A purist would have said "fantastic looking Esprit, Calypso red wasn't it", assuming it was painted more than 12m ago.

[Barrykearley]

That's in poor taste @andydclements.....I've seen It - he rubs it really hard to keep it shining red ?

It's still red.  It's always garaged and doesn't see sunny days, or rainy days.

[Mark Blanchard]

Another day and parked in Tescos and another "Lovely Esprit you have!"  What's going on?  I've had years of people turning their noses up at it / ignoring it and now 2 people in 2 days!  Maybe the Stevens Esprit has entered the Classic car status now and people are liking it.  And the haters have died of old age.  Still another happy day

Have been tracking down various pension funds. Lost paperwork due to nomadic lifestyle, house moves, divorce etc. Finally, finally, after being repeatedly told by a past employer that they only ever had a single group and even the pension provider stating this was my only fund, I have located a six figure sum in a past pension account which has done rather well.

Dont mind if I do!  ??

Quick - get it out and spank it all....
