Fantastic!

 

Just noticed your location says South Cheshire! The Cheshire and N. Staffs area meet the first Thursday of the month at the Golden Pheasant, Plumley. We’d love to see you and your new car! (Though you’re very welcome to join us with or without the Westfield!)

 

Additionally, a few of us often join the Peak District Area of a Sunday, to enjoy runs in the hills and dales. You’d be very welcome to come along.

We'll be there at some point 👍

Well, still no car, but the ramp has arrived and the good news is, I think it will just about fit in one of my garages 😂

In our usual inimitable fashion, just as the car is ready to collect, we’re off on holiday for a week 🙄

 

However, I should have the four post lift fully installed and working by the end of Sunday 🤞

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

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

 

Like the garage lift idea.

Like the garage lift idea. 

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!

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.

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.

Folk just don’t realise that a Q plate never devalues 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 👍
