I'm sure you got back to this-

Tailgate release cable has now been replaced. What a game that was to remove from and refit the cable to the lever in the cabin! I didnt have any reason to suspect there was a problem with it before I started, but I think it was a worthwhile preventative job. The operation of the release is transformed as a result, its much smoother than it was before but I'm not sure how much of it is down to the new cable and how much is due to the lever not being properly secured to the bulkhead beforeI started by this now reinstated nut 🙄 I've also drilled out and tapped the two lower fixing holes for the seatbelt reel covers. The parts list shows those rubbish plastic push fit clips being used but I didn't find them very effective. Hopefully the M6 bolts I've replaced them with will be more successful. Both engine mount legs have been refitted and the engine secured to its mounts again. I'm not overly happy with the quality of the paint I've used. Despite following the instructions to the letter and baking the parts in the oven the paint chipped really easily while I was installing the engine mount legs I'm not going to do anything about it now, but maybe next time they're out I'll try a different finish. Right hand side tank is now also fully secured in by its top board and the wiring all routed where it should go, as far as I can remember.

I think any immaculate Evora around £50-55k or less sells. I also think the market has gently woken up to what great cars they are too.

All black (more stealth) at Carbon Revolution when I was leaving to go to an appointment. I say 'I'm pretty sure it was' as I see so few, well none really, and I was in a rush to get across Geelong to my appointment. I'll have to ask some questions around people at work to see if I can find the owner. It was our overflow carpark so I am pretty sure they work at CRs.

Sport 240 Final Edition 2021 review

There's always the standard disclaimer that goes along with any pre-production model or information "Pre-production model. Features and specifications subject to change without notice." Maybe the reason why they aren't being 'transparent' is because they don't know final numbers yet. They're not going to know until everything successfully passes homologation. They're also undoubtedly talking to all their suppliers to find out how many more of everything they can get and when, since I'm sure they never dreamed they'd get the response (in the form of deposits) for the Emira that they have. This caught them by surprise; Scott Walker said as much. They're probably working feverishly to find out just how many they can make, and when, and work out what it's going to take to produce at least 3 times as many cars than they were used to producing. Some people seem to think Lotus is being under-handed or simply incompetent. I think it's just exactly as Scott Walker said; they're overwhelmed at the moment, and are scrambling to get everything under control and in order. Give them a chance to get it together here. They'll let us know as soon as they have it sorted out. Right now what I'd like to see the most, is full body shells painted in the other 4 FE colors. Hopefully we can get that before the end of the year.

Up and out by 5 am this morning to make the most of the empty roads ?

Now back home from our Euro trip. Some amazing roads and scenery. Will do a write up of the driving in a couple of days but in the meantime here's one of my favourites shots at the top of the Furka Pass As the clouds gather on the Grimsel Pass
