And it is MASSIVE! She has only gone and got a painting in the Queens Private collection, chosen by the Queens Curator of Art! And by winning the competition, won £1000 and will be the central painting at the prestigious Eton and Windsor Art Fayre in November! She will also have a stand there with loads of her paintings! Amazing stuff and anyone who owns one of her paintings has just seen them rise substantially in value. Kudos! 👏 2 1 Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits.

RoflOnMyWaffle Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Went to B&C open day, popped in and got a lot of ideas for my Exige. Mrs is keen on all the carbon so that's good! Didn't stay too long as I had other plans to get to, but was lovely to see and hear all the cars! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swindon_alan Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 The little 1991 Vauxhall Nova 1.2 Merit I bought for my daughter before she passed her test four years ago - she decided she didn't want it and bought my son's much newer Corsa off of him - passed its MoT today. No advisories and most of the garage mechanics at the workshop turned out to admire it. A real labour of love, it has taken me those four years on and off to restore and refurbish her, a lot of money, welding, paint, new brakes, full engine and gearbox service, tyres, yadda yadda. 43k genuine miles from new, full provenance and every single MoT doc and receipt. She just needs a spot more lipstick and make up before her maiden appearance on eBay. So happy!

Gold FFM johnpwalsh Posted August 21, 2018 Gold FFM Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 So I get back from near on 5 weeks away at work last night and get first peak at the car on the drive. Nice Elite and looking better than expected. But, the Mrs tells me that the insurance company want a copy of the purchase invoice to prove value. I have insured her for what would be a reasonable price once restored and not for what I paid for it. Is it any business of theirs what it cost me. I think not. If I had one it in a raffle for instance, would they only insure for the price of a £10 ticket. Happy with the car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoflOnMyWaffle Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 My Elise-Shop binnacle cover arrived today, not too bad, a few imperfections but nothing major. After reading the service notes, I think I'll let the dealer install this one - Been having a lot of clumsy moments lately and would hate to ruin this, or the OEM part or anything else. It's my daily as you lot know, so can't exactly have her in pieces for a few days 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post C8RKH Posted August 28, 2018 Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Got an invite to an IOD event today. Come along and listen to the business doctors blah blah yadda yadda. Then, Oh it's at the Local Porsche Centre and you get the chance to test drive a Cayman and Macan. Yippee I thought. Sorted. I'm on so happy. Just can't wait to turn up in my freshly polished Evora 410 Sport with it's drippingly gorgeous carbon to show them what a real sports car looks like and sounds like. That'll make me happy. 1 2 Quote Alcohol. Sex. Tobacco. Drugs. Chocolate. Meh! NOTHING in this world is as addictive as an Evora +0. It's not for babies!
