BrettMRC & LincolnLovin. Where are you based with your LCs? I am North Yorks.

Had been considering that Etsy valve controller after seeing your install but on the fence at the moment..+ also considered the pipe thats on ebay currently along with the RSR springs - not quite ready for a mod just yet being early days :-)

BrettMRC that spoiler on your Black Inspiration ..... :-)

Yeah, the clever paint jobs realy pop in the sun, like the 'Candy Prominence Red' on my VFR. Hard to blend if repainted though.

I think I should offer to take over ownership of the LC.
First the bonnet and now this.
It’s for the best. With time, you’ll understand.

That's just onthe outer layer of the laminate. An injection with 'glue' and it'll barely be visible, won't be a problem and you'll forget about it soon enough.

It's already started to spread a little, so I think it's curtains for the screen...

That's awfully decent of you, can I drop it round later? biggrin

I wouldn't mind if I had been flooring it, but I was in a queue and the stone came from the other side - nice score in the ceramic coating on the bonnet, but not touched the paint.

Upon further inspection, whilst it didn't scratch the paint, it did leave a dent in the bonnet.

On the bright side dents are easier to fix than scratches

On to more positive things, I went to Simply Japanese at Beaulieu on Sunday - there was a huge turnout!

Generally some very, very nice cars there and a huge variety - some real rarities too! The atmosphere was great, albeit a few dheads who couldn't resist revving the nuts off their cars inspite of the organisers begging them not to!

Link to the sort of official video thing:




Some pics! (have moved to a new hosting thing and it's not working how I expected, so trying the forum hosting for the first time!)

A few pics I took of the LC at the old family home before it's sale completes.

I like the Supra and in yellow it looks alright. Looks great in blue, too.
