Finally got round to giving her a vacuum, thorough wash & polish after driving back through monsoons & tsunami’s (I know I’ve been told 1,000,000 times not to exaggerate) from Newark a few weeks back - had that much debris across it, I though it had Toybox strips on it 🫣🙃😱 all ready for the Black Country meet on Sunday 👍

Some of the Surrey group took advantage of the October sunshine to cross the border into Sussex for a coffee at Torque Moto Cafe yesterday.

As per another post, here’s a recent snap of my (ex) Westfield

turned up to a car meet in Inverness when I was up there for the weekend.

 

Not quite a coincidence though because it now belongs to a mate of a mate and I also still keep in touch with the new owner.

Do you miss owning it?

Not when it’s wet!

 

It was strange seeing it again after just over a year since I sold it. But honestly, I really, really like the Exige so no, I don’t miss the westy. 

 

The Lotus has a proper roof and is so much more confidence inspiring in the wet that it meant that what would have been a miserable weekend in the Westy was great fun in the Lotus. Which is the reason I swapped over in the first place. 

 

However, if I were to actually drive it again around those lovely highland roads on a nice sunny day, the answer might be different 😁

Turned out nice. I left a bit later and the frost was all gone.

Yip, like you said I wanted to try something to break up the mass of the bonnet. Sum total of about £18 so if I change my mind haven't spent much.

Bargain, how fiddly was the application process.

Pretty easy tbh. Just lined up the broad carbon ones with masking tape and applied them dry. And the thin ones I just did freehand, took me back to putting coachlines on cars way back.

All vinyl from Ebay and very sticky, 2-3 weeks in and no issues.
