I'll show you mine, now you show me yours

Just spent 6 hours cleaning my car with Autoglyms Pro system.

First I shamppo'd then conditioned (Sounds like hair!) then polished and finally sealed with a UV ray protecting silicon sealant. Even the flys slip off it now!! Pics below

Car paint was dull after washing and in the sun you can see small scratches:

This is the final silicon sealant layer going on:

Finished article is fantastic! But I'm knackered now!

Full of blinkin' Great Whites too then Roger!!!!!................nice car though m8

Veddy veddy noice, Sir Kimbers.

(Must have dropped the coefficient of drag a notch or two as well!)

[Roger 912]

You a right about the Great Whites. They are attracted to the area by the seal colony on the peninsula.

We have a dude who is a well known body boarder locally and he was mistaken for a Turtle and came out of the affray missing a leg. Once out of hospital, he's back on his board in the water. Says lightening does not strike twice in the same place.

Few years back I was sailing my Hobie off Robberg and was followed for some minutes by a Great White, known affectionately as "The Robberg Express". The shark was longer than the Hobie 16 !

Just out of interest, went out to a local and fairly small car show yesterday in the red job and there was a 340R on display. First I have ever seen. Secondly one of the Lotus 7 replica drivers who was there beat me in the age stakes. He was 72 years old.

Bloody 'ell Rog! Money would not get me wet if I knew that there!!!!

To get back on topic your green one - is the light making it appear a lighter green than it actually is? Like the later G Turbos in BRG...........

[Robert Crooks]

James

Robert

[cobraesprit]

All I want to know, Paul, is what in the hell are you using for a transaxle!!!?

A Porsche G96 6-speed transaxle with a custom diff ratio of 3.0:1

[Kimbers]

Blood hell! And Gearbox to take all that Torque?

[Günter]

James , where can i get that sort of 'mechanic' !?

...as the hips are on quarter-window level that size should fit my 'applications'

Shot taken in June of this year on the deck of the Albion Ferry.

Since 1957 Albion ferry was a free service taking cars across the Fraser River between Fort Langley and Maple Ridge, B.C. (the curious can refer to Google maps) It was discontinued at the end of July when a new bridge opened up a couple of miles downstream. The new bridge is, of course, a toll bridge.

Kimbers,

From the final 2 photographs it looks like the small scratches have gone. Did that happen with the polishing or the silicon sealant?

I have the same colour Elise and I too have these small swirl scratches and want to get rid of them.

[Jonathan]

ITS AWESOME

At the mo she is the slowest Esprit in the uk, she will be running between 500 to 700bhp ( depending on supercharger drive ratio)

She is still work in progress, took nearly two years so far, planning is taking more time than the actuall work.

Just looked up the Bugatti Veyron power to weight ratio it's 446bhp/tonne, at 600bhp mine will be 461bhp/tonne !!!!!!!!!!!!!
