<ahem>

My car......

:lol: GOES ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

It was test driven by Geoff @ EE on monday.

Apparently the engine turned over once then started immediately (always a good sign)

There is a minor carb problem which he is fixing as I type and it should be ready for me to pick up at the beginning of next week!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to arrange a meet THE DAY I GET IT to make sure that this time people can actually see it's real!

MEET

:D

[Kato]

At last!!!!!!

Try not to break it this time!

[bladerunner]

Great!!

I know how you feel.

My engine is going back into the car next week after a year.

Can't wait

[lisalotus]

"Hoorah"

Welcome to the "esprit that actually goes" club , and will you be joining the fearless red squadron, or one of the less superior colours ??????????

This meet your planning, where are you planning to hold it????????, stoneleigh seems to be fairly central for most people.

"Oh" and snoopy smileys are great where did you find them??????????, and did you ever find your winky (smiley that is)

[Evil_Dr_Fish]

The meet is in Wisley (M25 Jn10 A3 turnoff)

It will be when I'm on my way back from picking it up from Salisbury

(its in the events page) HERE

I have the ONLY colour Esprits should come in - SILVER - like the Silver Car of Turin :lol:

(Lisa - The Snoopies are animations that have to be hosted like pictures but places like photobucket et al won't store them precisely because they're animations! Right Click them and choose properties - you will see the url for the pic - this can then be pasted into your posts within [ img ] tags - this method is also how we nick pictures from other sites )

Jon - Too right matey but not until I HAVE it in my own Garage!!

I have always said I'd change it the day I brought it home!

[Mark Blanchard]

Hi Robin

Good to hear that you are finally out of that rut, I know the feeling well, as after over 8 months rebuilding my gearbox, among other bits. It just feels great to have your esprit alive again. Your going to have to be very disciplined with that Right foot of yours.

You don't have to convince me that she exists as I remember seeing her at Geof

[Hairyarse]

Any pics to show us of the newly re-shaped beast yet??

[Evil_Dr_Fish]

I shall post some when I get it back

[fmxa]

Nice one centurion! Enjoy it and have a pint for me ...

[Paul C]

Hope you have many happy years of trouble free motoring .

...After many unhappy years of motoring free trouble!

Good news mate

Make sure that de-handled-door-release-solenoid stuff is all working...

(i'll be the first in line to take the pee when it locks you out at a meet)

[Loose Cannon]

Made up for you, as I am sure everyone is who has been around here 3+ years! A lesser man would have lost interest and gone off to sulk.

[Evil_Dr_Fish]

I did get close to that 348 feeling a couple of times...

...but common sense prevailed every time!

Enjoy it mate and take it easy on the wet roads - I very nearly followed your example a few weekends ago!

Cheers
