Oh really....Hummm...not sure the car will be ready for then! Would be good though!

 

[Ali]

Back on the road Mid May. All stripped and lots of new bits going on! Pics coming soon!

Started 1st turn of the key after not running in 15months! - That's why i love this car!

 

[cat171]

If you've not resprayed it already this year, surely it's due another one?

 

[MarkCup]

Make sure it's together and running well by August at the latest!

[david1987]

Brilliant read. I just read the whole lot!

I wish i had a spare 15k lying around....

 

[Ali]

Lots to do, but worth it! Attending Goodwood later in the year Ben...Fancy it?

 

[Willliams]

Looking forward to seeing the latest incarnation of your car Ali..!

Re Goodwood, we now have 17 v6's booked in with track time, plus the static cars, plus all the Alpines and Gordini's

 

[Gally]

Those grey grilles still annoy me, I wish they were darker. Makes them look faded even though they aren't really.

 

[Matt W]

Were these really only worth 11-12k in 2010?

[Gally]

It's definitely needing detailed boi!

 

[Ali]

Aye! I'll get round to it! Doing her SLK just now! Forgot how much I hate detailing!

 

[Ali]

Couple of updated pictures.

The guys at BrakeCaliper refurbs made a bit of a hash of the reburb (6 weeks of wrong seals then they sent my rear calliper carrier to another customer and I was left with two Off Side Carriers. Useless. Finish on them was decent though; but wouldn't rush back.

Wheel was re-trimmed by Jack @ Royal Steering wheels, supreme job, turned around in under a week!

Lowered seat frames finally on. Little bit of tarting up to do but hoping to have her back on the road next week!

 

[MarkCup]

I'm looking forward to seeing this!

 

[Willliams]

Perseverance Ali.. Looking forward to seeing it too, in August, at Origine RS. Last time I saw it was FCS 2008?

Bloody hell, the last time I went to FCS that!

Ermmm...Yes, I believe it was. Can't remember which years I was there. I was on YS Stand in 08 and V6clio stand in 09?...

 

[Willliams]

Bloody hell, the last time I went to FCS that!

Wasnt that 2009? Rockingham? You brought the Euro bus! Haha

 

[couzens]

Afirm. Ali's Vee was there also.

 

[Willliams]

Ermmm...Yes, I believe it was. Can't remember which years I was there. I was on YS Stand in 08 and V6clio stand in 09?...

Were you there two years in succession? Blimey, I'll gave to check the forum pics out!

 

[Ali]

So did I! Just found the ones from 2008. None from 2009 on here. Few on V6clio forum gallery.

Seriously low then!

[Gally]

Still remember those pics. Stunning!

 

[Ali]

I'm going to miss those OZ caps...Wish they were just a simple pop in job!

 

[cat171]

Nice up date wee fella, new front end repspray too?

Perseverance Ali.. Looking forward to seeing it too, in August, at Origine RS. Last time I saw it was FCS 2008?

That's probably the last time he's seen it too.

#garagequeen.

 

[Willliams]

Ali, I have zero memory recall of you being there in 2009! I thought we had all Illiads along the front of that stand in that year.. As shocking as that is... It's the 2008 time I was referring to. :S

So couzens was there in the Euro bus in 2009. I remember you kept calling to see where I was haha... oh yes you did.
cat171, at least the milage is probably about average now that it's rarely used

 

[Ali]

Ha! I ran it solidly for 2years! Did loads of miles then. It's certainly not a garage queen...May get pampered, but it's driven and driven hard (When it's on the road that is!)

 

[Ali]

She's home!

 

[couzens]

Love that house Ali!

 

[Ali]

Clio's not bad either ! can't believe how light the front end is...also how slowwww it is! But it is awesome!

 

[Gally]

Jesus H! Bit different from that apartment you had Ali! Hope the car is looking well!

 

[cat171]

Nice gaff that, someone's doing alright for themselves!!
