Ok guys after many sessions of back and too with the DVLA I am now the proud owner of a Q-plate, two small jobs to complete this week like a newly modified sump as the other had a tiny leak that I have been chafing and a new set of plugs as she is stubborn to start and then for a short while runs as if its on 3 cylinders and then it is happy days and running up the miles to iron out the gremlins

So guys, since getting my registration, I've managed to fit in a week in Madeira and 105 miles on the car, oh and broken a cycle wing bracket which I am going into work tomorrow to repair, and strengthen both sides. So take it from some one that was sceptical when told by others to beef up the cycle wings they were right. Once they are repaired tomorrow am on a club run on Friday with the Shropshire Alternative Car Club (SHACC) and on breakfast meet with NWKCOG North West Kit Car Owners Group on new years eve.

Not bad level of useage for this time of year, if you get used to it it will be an all year round car.

We expect some photos!

So out again today with the north west kit car owners group, now up to 198 miles and already got more planned on new years day with a trip up to the horseshoe pass at LLangollen for a coffee at the ponderosa. Apologies for the lack of photos, having lots of IT problems lately and i'm actively trying to source someone to sort it out so please be patient.

My day job involves managing millions of pounds worth of computer systems....

Yet on christmas day I was swearing it Microsoft for the ridiculously complex and mind blowing absurdity that is "XBOX Live" + "Microsoft Live" ...

Spent 15 mins today swapping coils on my Jaguar to try and narrow down a bad missfire when cold, If I can get those sorts of things sorted in the cold then I will have more time over the summer to work on the real Projects!

So guys its been a while since I have been on here and I must apologise to Sylvain as I have promised some photos but have got around to it yet, but another reason I haven't been on is there have been lots of posts on facebook saying that the site had been closed down by Haynes can anyone shine some light as to what is really going on oh and by the way was out in it this morning and now up to 554 miles of smiles lol

Fake News..

The site went down, but it was not closed.

I managed to contacted Haynes and the issue was sorted.

Good to hear your making use of it the car still. Nice weekend ahead to get another few hundred on it..
