Have you just done an Emu shed and he has seen the wiring ? 

[Barrykearley]

That was Alice's drawing - my 11 year old - she was busy scribbling away in the week

[Dan E]

Scared the shit out of me ?

[Vanya]

Now we're talking! 

[eeyoreish]

Does that make you Rod Hull, Emu's right hand man...?

[Barrykearley]

I'm hoping the video never comes out that actually shows the hand up the bird....

[silverfrost]

Barry,   Any jump forward yet on the project s3  

[Barrykearley]

@silverfrost sadly she is buried under rubbish and junk in the garage. Mainly bits and pieces from fixing and keeping the S4 roadworthy.

I do have a plan though - I have to finish the build on my barn and complete this current chicken shed contract. A mate of mines moving into the barn on sept 1st and chickens move into the shed at the end of sept - once that's done - then the S3 goes straight to the very top of my priority list.

That is great news Barry,  When you purchased the S3 i thought you had had moved over from the dark side of the stevens esprits and found the G esprit love lol.

Good luck witht the s4 and hope you get everything sorted soon 

[Barrykearley]

@silverfrost I've driven her once - to and from mot - which she failed on the brakes being shit. When the front end was in the rollers and she was left running - it started to boil over in a few minutes...... I will drop the rad and recore it to a three row unit and fit some new fans as well.

i must say - it did drive nicely - felt a whole lot smaller and more compact.

the missus still seems to think it might be getting sold once it's done ?. She wants to move house and I'm firm that we need at least a three car garage for me 

[silverfrost]

The G esprit Barry always feels more like getting into a fighter pilot cockpit than the later cars 

[Barrykearley]

New steed has arrived 

Grass is now cut

^{Wrong thread Barry. You should have placed this on the thread with 15"  Wheels Stevens car debate.}

^{Kind regards,}

^Jacques.

[Barrykearley]

Well - ticked over 90k tonight. Hope I haven't just made it worthless

[swindon_alan]

Fix the rusty rear plinth "battery connector" Barry and that will put another £10k on the price and a prospective owner will take no notice of the mileage mate...

[Barrykearley]

Just need another one chap - anyone got one ??

[Barrykearley]

So - the time has come to pull the steed back out again and push the S4s onto the ramp for a complete suspension rebuild.

im gonna enjoy this 👍

[Barrykearley]

S4 out the garage - all the dust washed off and a quick clean.

took the car for a good drive tonight. I really do forget how silky and accurate on the road she is. Lovely and smooth - the S4s suspension is absolutely shagged.

got back home smiling.

I’ll have a look at ripdown - not looking forward to the lower links - I have some farmyard Exotics release agent at the ready

Read:  big club hammer.

[Barrykearley]

Won’t be putting a hammer anywhere near them rear lower links - I’m still recovering financially from finding a broken one on the S4 where a monkey broke it

[Barrykearley]

Get home tonight - Can you collect Danny from swimming asks the missus. 

Too bloody right I can

[Mark Blanchard]

Nice looking car Barry!  How much have you got it up for?
