Due back to the UK soon...

That's our time here almost done now, so starting to look at car options for when we return.  Current thoughts are an Estate car for everyday use and perhaps a VX220 or Lotus Elise, or even a turboed MX5 for a toy car..

Well, due to upcoming work commitments abroad I have now sold the Westfield and the 911!

I will be back.....

Friday 4 January 2013

Been busy in work so only been out in the Westie a few times, however the last time I went out the LCD display in the VDO speedo did not show up.  Did some research online and it seems a common fault with them due to condensation in the colder months.  So took the speedo out and put it in the airing cupboard:

 Left it overnight and gave it a trial run, all good and saving me some money!  So leaving it a few more days to let it fully dry out.

Need to look at getting a new air filter as taking the bonnet off and on a lot has caught it and caused it to tear a little:

 Also, finally got round to adjusting the handbrake on the 911.

Got the rear tyres for the Porsche fitted (Ouch).

Also decided to get a removable and smaller steering wheel for the Westfield, so fitted that too:

Been out in the Westfield a few times and been flawless....

Got round to sorting out the alternator wiring today, here is where the wire had burnt through:


So, removed the bodge I had put in place and then put a new eye connector in place, as well as use heat shrink to tidy it up, then put some heat proof sleeving around it before putting the heat shield back in place.  Car starts up fine always now!





Some Track Day footage from 4 Jun 12:

Was only the second time round the track. after bodging the alternator wiring so not the best lines in the world....and that M3 CSL is bloody quick!!
