Oh very nice, thanks Rosso! Two different designs as well? Though a spelling mistake on Bob's you seem to have spelt it "Barmybob" instead of "Mad Bob"  Different for both sides. Haha I'll need to check the spelling with MadBob  Barmy is fine, though my dash strip did say "Bob, You're mad" Thanks Mr Bangle, I wonder who influenced him

It is, naturally, illegal to wash one's car on the drive or street around here. I foresee a short burst of 'ooh, there's a carwash, won't be a minute' on the way to Italy. Just like last time

I'll be there as three generations of Burtys (son & grandson) ...but having just added an Alfa (Guilia Veloce) to the stable I'm attending with a different hat on. Will come over and admire the Coop selection.
Haven't broken the news to my 20VT yet so expecting a sad look on his face tomorrow morning and if the weather goes sour he'll blame my choice of car!

Just changed a cv boot today, a bit fiddly as I don’t have the kit for the hub nut and then appropriate torque wrench.
The circlip is somewhat fiddly but the joint came apart quite easy. I’ve fitted a cv boot kit bought from Alternative autos, so hopefully this lasts a while, as it seems good quality
A quick call to Joe for some advice on rear handbrake set up, so I’ll finish that job tomorrow if it’s not raining
Finally experimented with a product call Berryman B12, to see if I can degum the oil control rings. Anyway it’s a take the plugs out, get the pistons at an even height across all cylinders and pour the chemical in.
Anyway left it in for 4 or so hours and then siphoned it out of the cylinders, dropped the engine oil and filter
Refilled with fresh oil and apart from a bit of smoke at start up, all appears normal.
A Quick Look down the cylinders with my eBay bore scope and the pistons are shiny
My thoughts are linked to oil consumption when on track. Normal driving( even spirited) the car doesn’t use a drop but on a track day I can burn up to a litre of oil.
So I’ve given it a go to see if it does anything, good or bad as I’m back at the ring in early July
Cheers Jamie

One of the fun things about living in Houston is that there is a LOT of money here.
My friend bought his client's vehicle over to show me last night. This is what happens when you throw several $100,000 at a Land Rover Defender 130.

Ticket bought.
Show cars must be on site by 10.30am so we'll rendezvous as usual at McDonalds, Forth Bridge Service area for 1000, leaving by 1010 at the latest.
We're asked to make an effort to stay at least until 1500 hrs as the public will have paid for entry to see our cars!

Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the rear Osrav's with the shocks on the car. May be possible with vehicle raised I would think? Would be good to play with the rear settings.

Well at least the coupe has easy-to-change bulbs, even if the first thought is 'hey, where did the headlights go?'

Thanks for the early reply Warren.
That’s very interesting: I’ve always wanted to know about them and how they drive but of course don’t know anybody with one! So I do look forward to catching up. Cheers. T
