Had done a lot of homework so had the day off, and went with my wife to a nice art exhibition. Then I did some work on the Esprit, and finally I played badminton with a friend. A nice day. Oh, and for the first time in a long while, the Sun came out all of the day.

Kind regards,

jacques

Today represents a milestone which we never thought we would see back in Nov 2016. It is 5 years to the day since I was diagnosed with incurable stage 4 lung cancer and 3 years, almost to the day

M100 sailed through the MOT...……..and B&C dropped the car back, same day, having given me a lift home when I dropped it off.

I always forget how good these Elan are; I will tuck it up for the next few months and await the Spring.

Happy today, oh yes. So the S1 I have been working on, for what seems forever has finally gone back to her owner. A long project is finally over. She is still having little niggling problems, but nothing that wouldn't be unexpected after such a long time in hibernation and having so much work done on her. Now to move on to the next one. Another S1

Forgot to add pics.Gone are the side repeater lights, the S3 front and rear bumpers, the S3 front and rear valances, the home made rear window louvre's and a stupid, stupid horrible exhaust system. Now resplendent in a nice 4 branch sports exhaust, adjustable coil overs, stainless steel braided hoses etc. Dellorto carbs, all new fuel lines.  And a whole host more.

That looks lovely. There is something about the S1 isn't there. Just such an iconic, clean design and lines. Keep up the good work John keeping these beauties going...

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk - that will teach us to keep mouth shut!

Not quite finished as the weather ruined my fun before I could place it nicely with all the panels back. @alias23 thank you for the tips and instructions. So easy to fit, don't need to jack it up or anything more than undoing screws/bolts. Thoroughly impressed with how easy it was and the quality. Can't wait to finish tomorrow and go for a drive.

Makes a nice change compared to other Lotus parts I've bought and fitted. Customer service on point as is the product :) time to relax inside now!

My 410 Sport is lovely but the large amount of black/grey in the interior depresses me slightly. So, I sent my mats off to @Steve V8 and he did a great job of making me some new interior mats for my footwell. Just brightens the whole interior up and they fit great. Great job.  I guess he has the template now so any 4xx owner should be able to speak to Steve.  I went for a nice dark red with black edging to match the car exterior.

Lovely guy to do business with and great carpets! (apologies for the crap phone picture)

I never thought a box of matches could excite me...but I was given these British Leyland ones today and they go rather well in the '73 XJ6.

Having spent a day or so removing the three bolts holding on the old header tank I was able to send it off as a pattern for a nice new shiny one that came a week or so ago.  So that just meant summoning up the patience to get the three new bolts back in for the new tank.  And it only took all day!  Yeaaaaaaa!

Simply impossible to get at.  If it needs doing again I'll leave it to Sparky!  But very happy its done for now...

Filled in and emailed off my dog adoption papers. Hopefully following a house check we will be eligible to adopt a dog from Staffie and Strays Rescue :)

Waited years for this, now just need to be patient a little longer - already eyeing up where to put the dog bed 😂

After removing a rear speaker so I could spray the back of the stricker plate bolts with releasing oil, I managed to adjust my passenger door so it lines up correctly and I found the speaker wasn't connected.  It is now and it works.

Bad news on the door handle, though.  (See what made you unhappy today?"

Saw the play 'The last temptation of Boris', which was fun and very well performed. Better still, the A3 was deserted on the way home, 15 miles of night-time bliss in Eagle Evora. What a brilliant car.

Following on from my last post in here, I have a house inspection from the local charity/shelter tonight. All things going well I'll be getting a dog :)

Now I have to work out how to fit the sodding thing in a car, my only car is the Exige and I don't want the dog in there ( most likely to be a Rottie, Bullmastiff or other Mastiff breed )

Maybe time to get an Evora *Man maths intensifies*

We picked up our new 9 week old springer today, the Evora was so smooth she was asleep in less than 10mins and stayed like this until pulling up at home 😁
