Mx-5 gone, pug 107 and 300C now here.

Trackday? That little car has done Donington, Curborough, Blyton,  Llandow, Mallory and the 'ring. 

Sorry, I meant - "never been raced or rallied". 

It will be brilliant. 

PS - My Granny had dementia. I used to take her out in it, here's the last time we went shortly before she passed away. She bloody loved it and used to shout at "posh buggers on horseback" as we went by.

You should join us in your Elise. I might even let you have a go.

[paulplom]

I wish this shitty weather would do one. It's rained just about non stop for 3 days. I'm itching to be out in this.
Instead I'm off to work ffs.

[paulplom]

A plus point. Alexa just told me my helmet arrives today.

Love that she’s grabbing the door in advance of being wizzed about.

First wash post paint and it's shining like a diamond in a goats ass.
I made bit of an ass of the number plate but I was terrified of pulling the paint off if I adjusted it.

Span at the track on Monday

 

 

[paulplom]

No idea what happened with that video.

Quite dramatic.

[paulplom]

Dipstick fitting a new dipstick.

You should've seen the size of the box it came in. Shocking.

[paulplom]

They have a suprisingly large boot.

Did you get a longer dipstick so that it will reach the oil?

[paulplom]

Ah, that old chestnut ?

[gm]

I hope a little rubber nipple thing came in the same box ?  

[paulplom]

I lost loads of the baffle material on the track. I was keep leaving big puffs of baffle material caning it along the straight. The last of it was pulled out this morning. 

It must habe been causing a blockage of some description as it's revving much cleaner now and is quite a bit sharper to drive. 

Bonus for sporty noise now as well. Proper chaverish now.

[paulplom]

1 bucket wrongun' again.

[paulplom]

Engine bay cleaned. Can't get rid of the dirty water marks on my freshly painted cam cover caused by @gm

[gm]

I do like your cam cover but not so much as to spill my ‘dirty water’ on it

Jeez. It's very slow. 

[High Jetter]

Yea, I think he need a faster dashcam!

[paulplom]

Busy waxing it and I've only gone and knocked the drivers wing mirror off with my arse. Fucks sake man.

I hardly touched it and it looks well rotten. Pretty lucky I guess. Rather that than have it fly off on the dual carriageway.

[gm]

Clumsy get  Not too bad a job, peel the black surround off the mirror case and remove the glass, fit a new nut / bolt and grease the ballpoint. black trim just glued back on 

[paulplom]

Champion. I thought it was a new mirror and paint job.

[paulplom]

The mx5 oracle that is @gm is quit correct.

[motorpunk]

I think I knocked the other one off once and replaced the rusty bolt with an IKEA leftover. 

[paulplom]

Took the doorcard off for no reason other than I'm a bellend.

Fixed though. Just need to attach to the car and put the doorcard back.

Our old one did that. When you consider the small bolt has been subjected to almost three decades of rain and shiz, it's done pretty darn well. 

Is the sticker in the window from its time in Japan? One of ours had a random selection of Japanese stickers under the fuel flap, and another had an ancient Japanese car park ticket under the driver's seat. Still got it somewhere...

[paulplom]

No, my car is English. It's actually the oldest silver uk car in the country and 3rd oldest overall. The door came from the jap car @gm broke up to make his kit car. 

The door on mine was rotten along with the arches. The donor door was also black which was the part of the reason for the respray.

 

[loserone]

I htink the sticker is some kind of tax disc, mine had one on it's hardtop.

[paulplom]

It's standing me around 2k now all fettled. I wonder what it's worth.

Our mirrors have bolts from a warrior tank.
