Took the car for its first real run out today. Early start to get past Loch lomond before all the camper vans wake up. The prettiest Road to nowhere Castle stalker

Parked at Hassop on Sunday for socially distanced bacon butties and a brew with @Andy83 and his Tiger E1. Looking forward to the Megabusa coming out to play 👍

As requested , another picture of an X1, the covid special , locked down in cardiff so cannot collect.

Now then, there’s no need for that kind of language Steve, I thought we were friends! An MP? Nope, but if asked very nicely, I might consent to becoming a Dictator or possibly a Despot. Speaking of MPs, it seems Captain Hindsight appears to have taken the term ‘opposition leader’ to simply mean contrarian. I have no doubt that if Boris had said 2 weeks of lockdown, Mr S would be crying about the costs and demanding 200% wages for everyone. I am so p******** of with politicians. We really, really need leaders, not the sort of points scoring and Monty Python 5 minute argument bulls*** we’ve got.

I think my postcode being on the internet would be the least of my worries if I had one of those gadgets 😅

No matter how hard you try, you simply can’t legislate for idiocy. We’ve become a nation of idiots who at the same time seem to need telling how to do everything, yet rail at the instructions and having our liberties eroded. My answer to this. Total lockdown. Anyone catching Covid has obviously violated the rules so gets a prison sentence. Solitary, of course. All borders closed, zero exceptions, enforced with extreme prejudice. 3 weeks and we are virus free. After that period, anyone coming in to the country, and I mean anyone, goes into strictly enforced and supervised quarantine for 3 weeks. None of this self-imposed bulls*** that nobody takes seriously, ‘cos they’ve got rights, don’t you know. Sensible? Of course not, but it would work. The second you try and be sensible, it all turns to ****e and you end up with half arsed compromises. What else can you expect with two mutually exclusive goals.

Impeccably well thanks adge. Only slight issue is with the fuel tank calibration. Its accurate at full and at empty, but in between its obviously not as linear as I thought. I had done 120 miles and was at 30% so chickened out and refilled but only got 17 litres in (tank is around 35) so at least I now know 30% is roughly half. I'll do a proper calibration over the winter some time. Does mean it did over 30mpg which I was surprised with. Which I'm sure your enjoying in the rocketeer as well Martin!

Stunning route, trust your new toy performed well.

No longer looking, now decided to convert the rear end to standard track.... Needed a winter project!

Great to see your car out in the wild

You need to learn how low you can go and what the gauge shows when low, One occasion was after a visit to the Evo triangle and we enjoyed the first lap so much, we thought we'd have another lap. We then headed for the nearest fuel station. Which was a single pump diesel only station. We then tip toed to the next garage. I think I'd got 2 litres left.

Got one

Lighterer is always betterer 😁

Just seen this on Amazon. We have bought a couple for Christmas presents. Hope this may be of use to someone.

What a great route.....

Wow! Such lovely photos!!

@Rush Motorsport haven’t you driven Andy’s S2000 as well as my Zetec? Both with cage and aeroscreen so should be a reasonable comparison.

ha ha this one has a windscreen option (switchable) and heater! my old one had aero screen, zero padding on the seats (surprisingly comfy!) but had a 4 speed straight cut rocket box! (so loud!) it is basically a luxury car with this spec! ha ha yes if i do buy i will need to pick my day to drive it back...on those tyres! Gary yes if i do buy i will head out on a run or two.

I love Post Modern Jukebox, and its where I discovered Puddles the clown too.

There's some great covers by this artist collaborative.

We should have emulated North Korea - shoot patient zero!

Marmite band but I love them

An SDS drill. The best thing for drilling brick, concrete etc.

A @Rush Motorsport the 2nd is handy to keep in the garage

RivNut gun. I never knew I'd need or want threaded inserts as often as I do.

Nice - we need more XI photos...😀
