I'm with Paul. Are you really a better car stylist than Chris Bangle?

Hi Theresa - sorry for the slow reply.
I have a good one on the car I'm breaking.
I enclose a photo of the bodge and the decent handle.
I'll do the good handle posted to you via Royal Mail for £12. Brilliant, thanks, I'll pm you shortly

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 saw a silly old duffer struggling to get into his classic car this morning.
I hate reflective shop windows.

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!

I have always fitted and run Toyo tyres - 225/45 R 16.
I now need two new tyres, but no one seems to have them in stock (back order with delivery in June).
is there a good/better alternative? I need them in the next few days

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

Today I spent a wonderful morning washing, claying and waxing my coupe.
I was so 'in the zone' that I ended up detailing the gas and elec meter boxes.
There's no hope. On the contrary, that is behaviour one would expect from a Regional Rep

I blame my parents - the silent first name thing is often confusing

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.

Hi Joe,
The spec will be the same as was except for the slightly bigger bore. Maybe that'll change in the future but for now I want to get it running. I still need to get it registered in Texas and I think I'm being fined every month that it's not registered after importing it. I can't register it without an inspection and insurance so I need to get it driveable first.
I'll try and update the spec on my web site over the weekend, there are a couple of items that are out of date.
