After 9 years with Lotus I thought I'd better scratch that other itch I had (but only once the Speed Sixes had started settle down ;-).

I've picked up an iced titanium targa with grey alcantara and burgundy interior (originally sold in the Gatwick area that subsequently went up to Blackpool and North Yorks), if anyone on here knows it.

Totally different proposition to the Elise but I'm learning fast - hope to see some of you on track at some point in the future, once my 'transfer' is complete.

Out most of yesterday with the panels out - that's some performance. Quite why I didn't make the change before escapes me. Brought the grin back that I last had after I upgraded the Elise's engine and readied her for the track - that was some time ago, and my wittering on about it is clearly boring the Doris!

Couple of niggles to sort out but nothing serious. Has anyone else had a passenger side wiper that scratches the windscreen?

I'll get some pictures at some point today and pop it onto the Garage.

I brought mine just over a week ago, and mine has 2 nice scratches on the windscreen from the passenger wiper. Have just replaced the wipers with frameless flat aero wipers. So shouldnt do it again. Also ditched the ugly washer piping.

Where did you get those from Franky? Have the same problem and your solution sounds a good un. Any trouble to swap to the aero's?

Link above. They came within a couple of days, with all the hoses needed. Fitted in around 10 mins, including cutting new pipework. Really simple, and you can get rid of the ugly loop. While fitting them i noticed one of my wiper arms was cracked, and they are quite rusty. So i have ordered a set of new ones. Should have them in a few days.smile

Some pics below.

No worries - looks like I need to do something like that then and THEN have the windscreen polished!
