Rather good that they have grasped the nettle. I'd be impressed if I was an owner.

I like them all but this was so ahead of it's time and the Aston Green one looks sublime.

Had I the available cash and the certainty that MMC will still be around for at least the next ten years to support the car I would have one in a heartbeat, but that last part I feel is getting a little concerning following their recent history, that and Simon no longer available as a brilliant supporting engineer for the Aero chassis would need a lot of thought I feel before any investment.
Personal view as always.

Could you not use a cheaply available borescope camera in conjunction with extended pickup claws to retrieve loose pickup pipe?

I used Eurolites on a recent European trip in my Six.
Went with position 204 on the guide attached & all seems good.

One of the main benefits of the SSL RS kit is that suspension control can be set and maintained at optimum (zero static pre-load on rebound spring) in turn providing the optimum suspension travel control and roll resistance within the limits of sliding axle suspension. This is achieved by the adjustable collars on main spring. Consequently your concerns regarding rebound spring fit are unfounded, accepting that adjustments have to be made on fitting as per instructions, and checked later after settling. Anyone who suggests otherwise misunderstands the principles of the kit.

BTW you do not need to use the car in competition to immediately appreciate the improvement, just find a bumpy poorly surfaced road. If you don't have any in Wales we can offer untold opportunities in Norfolk

My first engine traveled more than 100,000 km and I never had a problem with oil deposits and oil leaks, to travel 100,000 km I only had camshaft with needle bearing and cylinder head gasket of both cylinders to be replaced for the engine, I reassure I had many other problems.

There is still a lot of interest in these older BMWs...

Hugo, Donate button is on the top toolbar extreme RHD, some folk have started posting adds in the Malvern Arms which bypasses this and seems to work and of course people can comment then too.

Drove to Berrybrook for them to change the cam belts and tensioners
They also renewed the water pump.
(My 4/4 is a ‘black top’ 1.8 Zetec).

In addition they pressure tested the cooling system, to find the source of Stanley’ recent mild incontinence!
Fortunately all the cooling system checked out and the source of the dribble was located to one of the heater hoses.
(I had spent quite a bit of time trying to unsuccessfully isolate the problem.)

Interesting contrast of stock vehicles in the dealership.
They have a nice range of pre-CX models and a small number of eye wateringly expensive CXs (£100k+ Plus Six!).

Shame it pi**ed down on the way home.

Home now, enjoying tea and Hob Nobs.

If any company if that era had grasped the corrosion nettle, they would be stand out classics today.

A dealer friend had two E Types in 1978. Both F platers, so coming up for ten years old, and they were both sheds. The bodywork, especially sills, and boot floor, were lace.

The XKs were great Jaguars, and I too prefer the 150 for looks, but they developed as most cars do. A bit bigger, a bit heavier, a bit less sporting, because that's what the buyer wanted.

Here you go the recovery operation, look out for it on an auction site near you...

When No1 daughter was doing her Masters at Uni we often had lunch or dinner there - proper old fashioned service levels without the fawning, a lovely charming old place with alternative parking now it would seem.

The only downside to Bath is that being situated in a natural bowl and the air pollution levels were diabolical when we were visiting, the comparison from living half a mile from the sea in the countryside didn't help I suppose where we either smell salt in the air or cattle outfall which is ok in our book.

No problem compared to this one...

I didn't mean to mislead any of you - these appeared on a Faceache Morgan Group I'm a member of - it seems the French marketing company was having a laugh compared to you boys on fleabay.

I guess most of you will have seen this, but if not, Ricky Gervais summarises celebrities better than most. If you're not a fan just watch the clip between 7.00 and 8.00 minutes.
