Big booo. More comfy though.

I'll be going in my Dolomite next year. Couldn't go this year because I was busy becoming a dad.

Scary. She was born on the 12th June. Now, that will mean I can't make some Le Mans trips. But some should be fine. I have the option of the Classic every two years anyway.

Can we guess what the dates will be next year?

Its passed its mot

Right then,

I've been a totally lazy arse about this.

Picking it up was awesome, except for when i went over a bump in 3rd and it tried to kill me -

The looks of people as i hoon it around making CHAAATCHCHCHAA noises dont get old. just for the awesome confused look.

Ive done over 700 miles in it now all perfect . across different types of road. - I think its lacking spool up for a t25 so im gonna swap the ECU for a Jez one.

Its usable fun and fast. above certain speeds the back gets wandery and that's next on the list to sort as its ****ing
scary. - I'm also getting back into the groove of hooning this car about.

I'm driving it like I did when I was 17. take brain out and no fear. she responds nicely

In the wet, its really quite good. the lack of LSD just means it spins it away... power over is available in the wet or dry - but its old school tiff style "oversteer" than drifting.. I like that.

Next then. Well its booked into the body shop, the trim shop, custom carpet is being made, the roof is being re done. the sunroof re covered. new stereo and a fair amount of extras

Full alarm and central locking going in for instance - rs cosworth brakes and coilovers and full setup too

Frankly im just enjoying having it around again. only thing i guess it could do with is more power.... :wack: that said its pretty fast 3rd gear is alarming. but no way as alarming for the owners of the cars ive just overtaken - followed by pops and bangs and fire out of the up-swept exhaust.

^^^ that s##t does not get old!

Looking good.
I can see you have a silicon boost pipe quite close to the ex manifold
I reccomend you put some heat shield around as the radiated heat makes
