Time to start explaining

The rear deck lid was absolutely stunning. It was a beast of a thing - interior very lovely as well.

Oh no it hasn't. Save the Sparco armchairs for the Sunday snooze with the papers and a pot of tea.

Upto Shelsley Breakfast club this morning. There was an Evora GT410 which @C8RKH would have loved - I notice that one was also missing the rear seats in it.

A stunning volcano orange 12C spider which really helped my lusting.

on the way back home we went through Bromyard and tried out the new tarmac up the back road of the trading estate. Laid a signature on the road. I felt like I was 11 all over again. I promise. @windymiller I never did this in the Evora - the lack of LSD always stopped me 🤪

Pah, I 've seen bigger skid marks after a chicken vindaloo and a bowl of daal 😉

Were they parallel too?

Don't mention chicken to @Barrykearley, he's an expert!

Nah, snowplough 💩

With the quaife LSD and decent tyres - it was never going to be a much longer set of lines. Traction is achieved pretty damn quickly. Probably one of the best upgrades to do to your Esprit.

Nice day out Sunday at the Bromyard speed festival 

[Rambo]

👍Nice place Bromyard. Lovely sleepy Herefordshire town 👍

Had to have the car valued for divorce this week. Sadly it would seem the mot expired in May 🤪

Took it to be tested this morning. Handbrake needed adjustment - and one oil cooler Union was weeping that needed nipping up. MOT passed.

All set for another year of motoring. Just need to sort some new rubber now.

[Barrykearley]

🤭 it’s not mine then 

[Barrykearley]

Well the old girls scrubbed up ok today - now filthy sat in the car park at Dunston. 

[Barrykearley]

Back home last week. She’s now clean and had the first drive out.

rear break caliper has been sticking - so freed that off tonight. Got a broken exhaust hanger to sort and just as I parked up on the drive - up pops a CEL….. the battery is really slow to crank the car so need to oik that out and check the levels inside before invariably weighing the battery in 🤣

[Barrykearley]

The first run out of the Acton Beauchamp car club last night. 
 

took the esprit since the Evora ripped a front wheel well lining round and I need to fit the stainless brackets I have in the shed. I’m really annoyed about that since it’s damaged the clam paintwork in the process.

[Giniw]

Hi, I thought you had sold the Evora? Or is it another one?

edit: oh it's a 2010 one indeed! (Nice!)

Got the old lemon out the shed from the farm unit Thursday and blew the layers of winter filth off her 

had a photoshoot Friday at home and the S4s needs an MOT. Got her home, washed her off and took a picture with the other cars - the first time they have all been together.

sadly as it is with life - I go to move the S4s out the way and I just get a death clink when the key is turned. Starter is stuck and seized. So off it came Friday afternoon for what I thought would be an application of grease and a tap with a hamme. Nope - the starter has utterly shat itself. 

phonecall at 1625 to pnm  and this morning at 0845 a nice new starter motor arrives - now fair play that was amazing service. Car is now sat at the MOT station.

A late last night photo of a lemon next to a polo. This was after a late night visit to the vet with the dog and a £700 bill. That mutts never allowed an Indian again
