Is it to late to get a ticket ?

Folk just don’t realise that a Q plate never devalues (or stigmatises) a kit car like it would a tin-top. In fact it can only increase it’s desirability as MOTs get stricter and testers will be less likely to fudge the results 👍

Good spot and definitely one to check. Mine showed signs of cracking after only a few years, so replaced the R6 with Gates Barricade as soon as I spotted it.

Where did you get the alloy cap from? I've been looking for one for my Zetec but have yet to find one I like, or that fits tbh.

Looks nice, enjoy! I think I spotted R6 fuel injection hose - you should plan to change that for R9 or Gates Barricade for better protection from ethanol - meanwhile keep an eye on it for cracking.

Alloy oil cap which I got powder coated to match the cam cover washers. Local wheels refurbisher did not even charge for it. Just put it in the oven with other bits

To be honest, I was dead set against a Q plate, but having a chat with my MOT man, decided it was on balance probably a positive. The lift was an idea that I stole from my nephew who had built his own garage and installed one to take his Lotus (Exige/Elise/something or other). I didn’t realise they were ‘reasonably’ priced. Plus the retailer was offering three interest free payments. Winner!

After reading all of the recent MOT failure posts I bet you are glad it’s on a Q 👍😁 Like the garage lift idea.

I've never seen a roll cage quite like that before! Has that been wrapped?

You realise of course that you could have chosen a faster orange one? 😂

Nothing wrong with talking to your Westfield, is there my little precious Carrot? But I do like to dress up for our little chats.....

You might be right. Judith bought it a fitted cover, so it doesn’t get dusty/cold 🤣

It looks snug in there don't forget to read it a bedtime story before lights out.

Thanks! That’s our ‘72 Spitfire 😎

Very nice! I've now got garage envy 😂 Is that a Spitfire or GT6 I spy on the ramp?

Have two sets of Caterham one if that's of any use. ( Imperial and Metric chassis)

I might have the older type, 4 sided cube?

I guess we really have done it now. Collected today and really pleased after a 60 mile journey along all kinds of roads. Deaf in one ear, blind in one eye, forgot to take my hat and my driving glasses, but we came home doorless and topless (ooh, err) even with a light sprinkle of rain. Chuffed to bits, now it’s time to learn the ways of it. Expect many questions, but for now bask in the glory of our yellow ray of sunshine ☀️

Today the Westfield came to its new home…

That's a bargain for someone

Ok, thanks. A little far north for me otherwise I might have been interested. GLWTS

All booked……

That’s Lancashire for those (like me) that had no on clue 🤣🤣🤣

Nether kellet
