I was pulled over for an illegal number plate, bang to rights, it was, so not a leg to stand on really. However I was led to believe reading into it that I should received a notification of rectification or similar to replace the plates and prove that it has been done for a first offence...
Looked clean and kudos for the bike in the back
Was in the Alfa cruising home after flying back from Cyprus to Bristol yesterday, tried to wave but you were in the zone

Popped my BNIB splitter on eBay, bid away
Another month and back out again, Cadwell this time and car once again was on point for handling. Had a great day. Slight misfire still there so just drove around it and throttle cable popped off pedal so had to fix that. Otherwise, mega day.
Pics mixed up as never upload in right order I...
Due to issues with both the track car and the daily, the senior management decided the phase 1 was the only choice for possibly the wettest trackday I've ever done bar one at Mallory a few years back. And this time I threw the dice and chucked the R888's on.....unwise. had a mega time though...
Me again....
So it begins once more, 3.5 years ago I picked up a phase 1 172 from @boomerbang2006 in Odyssey Blue with intent in all honesty to kill it for spares and make some money. 3.5 years on i'm 5 grand into that one and it's a lovely thing, nearly complete and all it needs is paint to...
After buying another phase 1 from @boomerbang2006 last week, needed to get odyssey into the drive. So had to get the track car movable to facilitate.
Stuck rear end back together, slapped the storage wheels on and blew the cobwebs out before popping her back to sleep.
Seen today around 1:30/2pm at Stafford street roundabout, right silver fox at the wheel. looked far cleaner than my heap but didn't catch full reg so couldn't MOT History stalk you.
You were waving or something out the window though so defo a 'Clio guy' so may be on here?
Anyone ever removed them, ones for drip undertray etc, then replaced.
Got couple snapped and I'm powder coating frame too so be easier remove and replace
Cheers

Well she made it, 200k on original engine and box, neither of which have been opened.
Cars been a daily runner for all three previous owners and for me since the day it was sold new in 2004.
She's no minter, but after lapping up Donington on Wednesday evening and running my commute the last...
Popped up to Alport Heights today after work and took a couple of butt shot snaps of the old snotter, quite liked them so thought I'd share.
And yes I know.....dirty pipes, sorry it will be sorted before next time, was bit impromptu this shoot.
Cheers

Not touched the thing since did Cadwell park last September, so put some effort in and got it clean after some work......
Still daily used and currently in Welwyn for work, she clicked 195k on the way down.
Winter wheels still on currently but originals will go back on soon when I transfer...
Took a trip over the pennines today to visit @bloke to get the 197 cams timed in then straight over to see Chris at EFi for the whole setup to be mapped.
Cold and foggy trip in a car with no..... well no anything really. But the result was a surprise to say the least.
Thanks again to both...
Happy 190th (k) birthday ?
Warts and all showing, not all these old girls can be show Queens so thought I'd go candid and no washing for months just to show that pictures can hide the blemishes. As such no post processing and no filters, just a study of an old motor still in daily use in the...
New alloy bonnet, cup spoiler and rear bumper all fitted. Slapped on the refurbished F1's, got a years ticket on it with no advisories and went for a spin!

Started piecing the track car back together today. New springs fitted to the KW's and cleaned, treated and painted the arches, thought it looked kinda shiny so thought I'd share!
Cheers
