Yesterday........
250mile round trip to the factory.
Taffmog day out.
Weather was ok - no rain to complain about so roof down it was.
Didn't take a camera but nothing "radical" to photo anyway.
They were loading cars for Geneva onto a transporter and there were many packing cases in the factory with " bits and bobbs" for the show.
Couple of cars with "interesting" colours there
Aston Banana Yellow
Hot orange - headed to Russia
Couple of Plus8's going through
Life Car moved to museum as it's abandoned - Gov grants are now for electric cars, and comments made to us re generating sound effects for safety! Claimed range of 100 miles now achieved too. Why a Mazda gearbox though? Reply was vague!!!!! Perhaps a "Morgan Characteristic"?
The " yellow peril" nearly had me at Thrill on the Hill!
During the presentation they said that the priorities were on quality improvement.
Also, comments were made about moving the location, as there are business units available. These were general comments were re this as " being looked at" , but nothing hard and fast at this time. Currently completed cars are sent to a nearby warehouse for collection rather than the storage in factory with an option to collect from the factory.
A new press to form some parts is also in use - reducing outsourcing.

All in all.... a good day.
Nice to give the car a good run after too many short ones recently.
The added roll bar has also had a stiffening effect too.....(on the car that is)
mostly noticeable on roundabouts where there is less flexing felt.
Next job......have tonneau modified to fit round the roll bar.
