[Jaye R]

Fan - bloody - tastic - she starts!!!!! And what a fantastic noise to hear on a crisp, clear morning.

Now just off to the Post Office to tax her & I can go for a 'blow the cobwebs away' drive

Cheers

Damon - will post photos on this thread later tonight.

Stuart - advantages of 'working from home' on a Friday

Fab short run - roof off!!!

Looking forward to getting some more serious mileage in once all clear on the MOT (going in for it in the next couple of weeks).

Cheers

Nice one Jaye, I too have just retaxed my car and got it back on the road from all the winter jobs etc, only did about 50-60 miles but it was bloody brilliant to hear and drive the old girl again, no real problems apart from the exhaust not quite central in the chassis so it catches occasionaly and makes a resonating noise (easily sorted)but that's it, although I have to confess to leaving the roof on (some of the regulars on here may remember that I hate having the roof off) anyone else just had their first drive of the year ?
Cheers.....Tony..

Been driving gerald all through the winter (but sunny days with the roof down)

[Wiz]

Got mine off the axle stands this afternoon, most of the winter jobs done. Will be taking it out for a very short drive down the driveway and back tomorrow, might give it a quick clean as well.
Taxing April the first - can't come soon enough

Well done Jaye

Taxed mine from the 1st March so will be taking the cover off and having a long awaited blast this weekend. Can't bloomin wait

[Jaye R]

'Finished article' photos...still might need some more polishing in places though









Now enough winter 'something to do' work - on with the fun stuff

See you all soon at SCH2010

Cheers

Missed a bit ... that looks fantastic Jaye , the first turn of the key after its been stripped down.... it is a wonderful sound, or is it more relief that you haven't left anything in there(was for me). Well worth the time you must have put in, look forward to seeing it in the flesh at SCH2010.

[Jaye R]

Yep - I wonder where that came from hey Kev?

[orange_dodo]

Would people PLEASE stop posting picture of nice shiny engine bays!...
















...it makes me feel inadequate

[Jaye R]

Don't worry - just think of it as 'inspirational' automotive art - or some such c**p - as I said, it keeps me busy over the winter - it's all about the driving though

Cheers
Jaye

[Longers]

Excellent work Jaye I don't get enough time to drive mine without even thinking about getting it / keeping it that clean

What about that copper pipe going into the wall

[orange_dodo]

Thanks Jaye,

My excuse is my 2 yo takes all my time/energy up and I don't have a garage to tinker in! Well I don't until tomorrow

(still have the 2 yo though damn it!)

[Wiz]

That looks great Jaye!

Maybe next winter will have to start on my engine bay.
