Is it that thing resting on top of the plenum ?
A dipstick maybe ??

Probably from the Dark Side

Hi Dave
Long time no see: Are you coming to S Club Heaven this year?

The thing lying on the plenum is indeed a long reach flexible wiggly grabby pick-up tool, as Phillpot has said.

Invaluable for retrieving those tinkle-tinkle-plonky bits that fall down into awkward places, but no good for removing ear wax.

It’s custom made after a blueprint made by me on a cardboard box from some car part:
Needed to get the alternator little higher up with the “new” rocker covers.

Well spotted!
Glen was right about what part, just not the make

[Maffe]

No more guesses?
Its a part from a Mercedes

Maffe, I'm surprised that nobody guessed that it was from a 1939 Mercedes 500SLK.

So what happens now with the virtual 0.5 litre glass of beer? Shall we share it 50/50?

I think you should give it to Harald, I reckon he has earned it.

My father just called and the sound I heard was the sound of thunder when a TVR s3 starts!

So it looks like we will leave Umeå on Saturday!

Never doubted you, or more importantly, your Father


See you in a few days with these..............................

Work done!
We had a hard deadline, Monaco eurotour 2018, one week ago I still did not believe this would happen. But my father pulled a rabbit farm out of an old bucket!
Today we started our journey towards Monaco. First 630km from Umeå went well!
Actually the S-fighter have transformed into a new car. Steering, handling and gear shifts are just stunning. Little rattling sound from the exhaust (I think) and from something in the door.
Guess something will surface sooner or later

[glenrobbo]

Absolutely marvellous!
Well done Harald & Maffe, have a safe journey and enjoy the ride.

I really wish I was coming along and meeting up with you both, but I am busy being a new grandad twice more over the next three weeks. .
No chance of a pass out, but at least we'll have two more future TVR marshals. Just a bit of training required...

Longers,
If there is a going to be whatsapp group for the tour, please could I be included so that I can keep an eye on what's occurrin'?

Anyway, it's now time for a beer before bed.
I like to live dangerously!

Cheers!
