If only replacing human parts was as easy as replacing car parts!Was in storeage for 4 months then snapped my ACL , tore my LCL and put a hole in my menicus.
I can confirm 60% of these miles were having go faster bits put on though to replace failed bits!
Cheaper for the car parts too
Delighted to say the car is now home and weighing down the garage quite nicely.

Few weeks yet I think, sadly.
In some exciting news to me I drove the Exige yesterday for the first time since back from SeriouslyLotus and their remedial work on the suspension.
TBH the car felt good before , but now. Now its next level. No clunks, no bangs , no knocks and it feels so direct and darty. Its absolutely superb.
Sure it could be a placebo and I havent driven it a long time but I am really delighted with it!
I could do with a tyre tread gauge as I think the rears are getting a little low. Cant feel the tread marker but we are getting close
now more like ambient +40 so really happy with that! Water temps remain around 87/88 deg C.

I have been getting gradually more adventerous as my ACL recovery goes on. Nearly 8 weeks on so decided today would be the day to wash the car.
Prewash it was dusty and the AD52 seem to be holding up well on the front
Some snowfoam
and then some Geon QD.
My son came back from work so decided to pop over to Blyton.
Saw a fantastic Cayman GT4.
Also spotted a current BTCC run by Dan Lloyd. That thing was bonkers quick and sounded freaking amazing

In tonights episode of " I did a thing " I cleaned my steering wheel.
It wasnt truly manky but I had noticed a few shiny spots.
As ever I did 4.3million hours of youtube research and followed a Ruskiweldfab video of simply add fairly liquid to water and use a microfibre cloth to clean. Then rinse with clean water .
Before :
and after
Whilst its not perfect, it is a heck of a lot better

surely we should be using man logic here, we should be suggesting changing all fixings to titanium, weight saving yo! It’s a 2 pronged attack as your wallet also gets lighter at the same time
