Thanks for the offer of a close up look of the SR Nick, it's a bit hard though trying to fit in anything now though with me car sharing but when the time comes when I've a free weekend I'll give you a shout so I can have a perv

No worries fella!

Beautiful Nick.
Such an amazing and meticulous attention to detail and a real credit to you.


I'd love to see it in the flesh sometime.

Cheers Stu, much appreciated fella! You should get yourself to a few shows next year if your in the country? Im aiming to be at a few in 2012.

I had no idea of your eventful trip home!! Glad it all sorted now! Any more shows for you this year?

You know Im sure I sent you a pic of fail whilst following it back up the motorway..... Plenty of others got it so maybe yours didnt send for some reason? Usless Blackberry!! Unsure on any more shows this year to be honest. Im just going to keep putting miles on the motor in prep for some hooning action next year.

Bad luck on the alternator Nick, pain in the butt. Also, nice of the AA to damage the car, You'd think recovering cars for a living, you'd be good at it!
I bet you dread billing sometimes.

Hi guys, On to a little update then............... I havent had much time around the car recently due to having a nice break in Egypt. However whilst I was flat out on my sunbed I did spare a few thoughts in between beers for it. My thinking was something along the lines of....... "what can I do without spending anymore money this year but possibly make the car easier to drive? " Here's what I got up to when I got home........




Spot the change?


If not here you go..........






Ive decided to remove the stubby mirrors for standard ones. They were something Ive always been unsure of on this build due to the car being practically stock on the outside. Plus they were never easy to live with due to the tiny glasses and the fact the front hoop of the cage blocks the majority of that tiny view anyway! So I rubbed down the stock ones and painted the covers in the same grey with matt finish as per the rest of the car. The frames were also treated the same way but with a smooth black matt finish. I didnt want to leave them plastic as nothing else on the car is! The finished result Im happy with and they are so much better to use its unreal!

Apart from that Ive just carried on trying to get some miles in on the dry nights were possible. Once the miles passed 500 my engine builder has been telling me to increase the varied load/revs and generally drive it harder so I have been doing so. Were now up to around 750 miles and Id like to try double that before the tax runs out and it goes away for winter. Thanks for reading!

I love this car but i think it could look better with comp TH's or some other wheel, maybe even speedline mistral..


Keep up the good work.

Cheers Lewi.......... I have previously thought of either cav turbo wheels or th's in my current colour scheme. Would have to be 16's in th's for me though and I think they are even rarer than the 16" flat spoke mo's I currently have! Either way I doubt it will ever happen as Im finished spending cosmetically now.
