eeyoreish 877 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 That must be a library photo. Our local KFC still has signs up apologising for the lack of just about everything! Some heads must have rolled at the Colonel's place over that fiasco... Quote Not worth starting anything now... Link to post Share on other sites

oilmagnet477 747 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sorry for this! Slightly self indulgent post (or should that be boast?). Just took advantage of a VAT free weekend at Machine Mart to upgrade my deceased 25lt (hopeless!) compressor with a 15/1000 clarke compressor and also added a very cool metal band saw (horizontal and vertical cut). Chuffed! Not affiliated with MM in any way but I'm really impressed with the saw - self assembly was somewhat involved but nothing to refitting me Elite Diff 1 Quote Is the price for that bit in Yen or £?

hosscartwri 45 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yes - I bought it. Ordered back in March. In the distant background is a blue GT410 Sport and between it and mine is an Elise. I don't recall what the blue car to the right of mine is - I'm afraid I was concentrating on the rather lovely grey GT410 Sport! 1 Quote Elise S sold February 2018.

Gold FFM Popular Post Dan E 1,558 Posted May 8, 2018 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 So 5:15am off to Gerald at GST, service & MOT arrive at 7am car absolutely flew up there considering it hasn’t moved for 4 Months apart from a general start up and run up to temp as the MOT had expired. There was a lovely red S2 on the back of Gerald’s truck, anybody on here? Anyway tortuous 3 hours journey back on 3 trains and 1 tube then a walk home up a hill which is about the same incline as Everest. 3 hours later phone call everything is fine passed the MOT going to pick it up Tomorrow this is not helping with earning any money this week but hey hoo really, really excited to get her back on the road. I know the man doesn’t take on anymore clients but he is not only a lovely chap he has got to be one of the very best at servicing and looking after Lotus of any era.

Dave Eds 280 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 @Dan E - I'm going up there in the morning. If you need to be picked up anywhere give me a call 07889 745912 1 Quote Dave. Link to post Share on other sites
PhilW 400 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Danny I'll second the comments re Gerald with hesitation. You'd be better staying in Newmarket the night wouldnt you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM Dan E 1,558 Posted May 8, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Dave thank you I won’t get there until about 1pm unfortunately I sort of got to do some work in morning as I have done bugger all for the last 5 days! Phil with hesitation? To be fair I should have just hung around but wasn’t expecting it to be done in a day i always say I don’t need it back quickly as he is always busy. So normally gone for 3 days but as nothing wrong it was double quick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
