..................toady was! :cloud9: My baby is back safe in her garage at last.

Looks newer than it did when I bought it. The work is superb. Thanks very much to Lee and the guys in the workshop who came in today (Sat) and fully valeted my car including the engine and polished all the panels. She has never looked so lovely!

The new exhaust I swear is a lot more noisy and gurmblie, sounds fantastic! :D :D :D

They have sorted a good few minor niggles for me, sorted the linkage and even fixed a couple of things that I did not know needed adjusting!!

Oh, how I missed her!

Thank you very much to all at the factory for a brilliant job.

See you all on Friday. :bounce:

Nice to have your IC in too! Need to chat about that on Friday Matt. Not quite sure when the fan should and shouldn't run etc.

I am off for a long long drive now!

Looks like it's a week for getting cars back !

Mine was delivered back to me on wednesday, and although it's on reduced boost until Monday, it's been a wonderful reunion !

Can't wait for Rockingham, should be a great day.

From memory Jools, your car is now somewhat different to when you left it with Vegantune?

Mosler factory trip next Sunday.

Rockingham owners day on Friday.

Silverstone next Thursday.

Bedford December 10th.

My car is not going to know whats hit her! (no pun intended) Neither is my wallet!

Lovely to have her back.

The IC definatly makes her feel a bit different and the new exhaust note is lovely. Do you think the 2 could be linked?

Nope. I think you'll find that it's just getting 'bedded in' i.e. the baffles are starting to do their proper job. Nothing!

Can't say I saw a Jaz plate there. Sorry. Couldn't take my eyes of my gleaming beauty!

Right I am off for another drive.

Just a bit. It's have a complete strip down, and rebuilt back up to current spec plus a few tweeks along the way.

The main points are, 6 speed + M400 gear linkage (schweet!) + new engine + engine upgrades.

There are lots of other little tweeks over the car.

It's not been the smoothest of roads, but it's mostly all working now.

It's off to get it's final engine map today, then it'll be ready for Rockingham. !

The fan is thermostaticaly controlled so will only activate when the charge air temp and/or end tank temp exceeds 38 degrees C.

We'll have a chat on Friday.

I was at the factory last Thursday but didn't recognise any cars . It was my first visit to the factory so its fair to say I was a bit blown away that such a small but perfectly formed little enterprise could produce something so bloody fantastic and with only 18 staff !

Never!! I never noticed a crazy Xantia!?!? Must have been concentrating too much having just collected the car!

Gutted, it would have been good to see you both at that point.

What were you doing up there?

Well the Xantia is bland enough to be almost invisible - even with full beam on!

I was 'breathing' on Obes car - he's got A048's (courtesy of Joust) and everything now!!!

He'll have a roll cage, Dymags and Nitrons yet
