After two long weeks and six weeks laid up (bar a quick 12 mile round trip to see Tony Shute) I've finally got my car back and on the road.


As some of you may know I took delivery of her last Decmeber from a local(ish) Ferrari dealer. All appeared fine until I discovered that the apparantly fsh wasn't correct due to Lotus changing cambelt changes.
Anyway after protracted talks with the dealer , clarification e-mails to Lotus and finally one to dealers HO (the're part of a major group) their MD got involved and the car was taken back and dispatched to local Lotus main dealer for cambelt and full C service plus instructions put right what needed doing.
Well I got her back today, niceley valeted and with a full tank of petrol and she's like a completely different car.
The mechanical racket from behind somehow seems tighter or more together which makes the Motobuild zorst sound even better, steering feels sharper and the suspension is a lot quieter (far less banging and crashing) with the whole car feeling more planted.

I am Sooooo Happpy

Even better I've got to go to Falmouth on Monday and the weather forecast promises sunshine without a cloud in the sky. WOOOOO HOOOOO!
