A good days work mate.
On an unrelated, but full points for stupidity note, Lynn brought over a multi socket extension lead that had "suddenly stopped" working. Before changing a fuse, I plugged it into the mains and switched it from "off" to "on" and lo and behold.......
I'm still ripping the piss out of her about it.

Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

That’s some impressive skills doing all that - I would be thinking twice before taking the engine apart.

This is a great idea! I am going to do this for the 4 I have sitting in a box ready to be put on the car. What paint brand did you use out of curiosity?

Drove the living daylights out of it this weekend! Spent 600km yesterday visiting friends and fellow Z-owners in the south, then tearing up to Zandvoort for a 30-minute track session, which was an absolute blast. Then today we organised the second edition of Corvo on Tour, which despite the weather was a great success. All in all: a car-filled weekend
Now, where’s that soap…

Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

Awesome. Given what you have put in to making that car so pretty, I’m glad you’re showing it some action tooBarty wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 9:30 pm Drove the living daylights out of it this weekend!

Zedebee, it was made to be driven. Hard. Who am I not to oblige It'll look fine after a bath, after which I can't wait to mess it up again. Next track outing later in December, with brake upgrades being in order later this winter...

Just compared my car yesterday to how it was a few months back- I really need to get cleaning

New MOT obtained today & pleased to see my annual mileage had increased to 5k, had a minor issue when informed my headlight washers weren’t working but then remembered I’d coded them out with Carly after getting fed up with screenwash residue over the bonnet - a few minutes later I’d managed to turn them on again
Amusingly it’s passed the last 4 MOTs without being noticed

New MOT with no advisories for the Coup
Also had the gearbox oil changed with Liqui Moly as it was getting a little notchy... It has made a big difference.

Nice one Ben, I noticed you had nabbed these on the forum! Is your M54 a non-si, I cannot remember how these work, I know you had put reokacement M Sport seats into the Coupe I came to look at, a nice and in my view essential touch for that really sporty feel!
