Only time will tell. Changed the oil temp guage for a VDO centigrage one from the fahrenhiet one supplied by Lindsey Racing. You can tell I'm bored. Looking for an MGA to restore but the prices are crazy, last one I bought was £45. Yes this was my car.

Since 2010 prices have gone nuts

I was thinking about a cheap Lotus Eclat, not a hope now

Yes I had 2, both roadsters although RKU29 started life as a coupe, it was in a sorry state when I got it.
Both cars ended up in Germany, I raced them both with a friend for 20yrs. One car ran with a Twin-Cam engine the other with a highly modified pushrod.

Made up a new gasket for the coolant bleed elbow. Then spent two hours trying to find the blasted ‘pan head’ screws that are supposed to hold it place. I am reliably informed that I put them in a plastic takeaway container with lid as I normally do. Finding said plastic container appears to be the issue :oops:

Washed it and used it for some essential shopping and local travel for exercise..

First time out of the garage this year. :)

Needed pics for assured value anyway.

Morning all,

It being the 1st of March I have just taxed my 968 for an optimistic 12 months. I do need to shuffle my cars around a bit as I have just bought a 1928 Delage DR 70 Saloon! I thought I would try something different!

It looked as though I was heading for MSUK not renewing my Speed competition licence following my heart by pass in 2019, but I now think they are going to renew it. they did renew it for 2020, I now think that Civid has messed things up a bit. In the meantime I was looking for a new direction to fill voids in my life and settled on an old saloon. Who knows I may do weddings!

Also made one of the biggest and cheapest improvements to my car today by swapping out the o ring in the idle control valve . Must have had a largish air leak before as really smoothed out the idle and brought the revs down 100 rpm so idling a constant 850 which is not bad for my mish mash engine . All for the cost of £2.50 !

Mine was in bits,

keep your eyes on the Aldi Website, when they have tool sales on, buy a box of assorted O rings, Save you a small fortune.

£2.50 for an O ring is expensive, I go to my local bearing shop when I need a load of what I dont have, Got a pile for the Honda VF1000, genuine came to about £45, I got Viton Rings all the same size for less than £10
