Gold FFM Dan E 1,582 Posted October 11, 2017 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Ant I promise you, you really do, I hate brick drives but P.O. had one laid really badly weeds and more weeds then some moss with more moss tried everything. Done the side drive bit in about 10mins. It is also just on the wrong side of dangerous which adds to the fun. It will make it more manageable until I pull it up and throw it in a skip then we shall have a party. ? £70 Clarke tools and a bottle of propane best to have a hose handy though 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky 2,862 Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Remember Christine, Peter's demon silver SE? There's gonna be a sequel. Took the GT3 to Milton Keynes today, the pretty route, to assess the SE (and fix a relay) then cross-country to Hemel to fit a caliper for my son-in-law. Glorious weather, empty roads, picturesque countryside. 80 miles of driving pleasure punctuated with what I love doing most. This pensioner lark is really cool. 2 Quote British Fart to Florida, Nude to New York, Dunce to Denmark, Numpty to Newfoundland. And Shitfaced Silly Sod to Sweden. Link to post Share on other sites

Gold FFM C8RKH 6,414 Posted October 18, 2017 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Wow, they've really cleaned up Skegness? Did they get some cheap Europeans in to spray the sand white too? What made me happy was confirming the Supercharger upgrade on my VX220 this morning: Dutch ECU and mapping software Supercharger Stage 2 Pro-alloy larger fuel tank Spitfire fuel pump Braided brake hoses New pro alloy radiator and charge cooler Should be like a new car when she comes back with over 300bhp per ton! I even get to help with the spannering which I am looking forward to. Last time I lifted the front bonnet I thought the engine had been stolen.

Realised some bar steward had put it in the boot to fool me! Bloody practical jokers...... Same spec as the one I sold 2 years ago, save for the Dutch ECU, after owning it for 14 years. Dyno'd at 262bhp & was definitely in the sweet spot between reliability and drivability. Makes a good track car Dont forget the suspension, geo and brakes, the latter resolved purely by changing pads, no fancy big brakes required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM C8RKH 6,414 Posted October 26, 2017 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks @PaulCP. Brake pads and geo done and got the spitfire tie rods on too. I'd be happy with 230/240 bhp to be honest. Can't wait. Deposit on the upgrade paid. Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0.
