Hi Badger, I had my seats in my old S1 re-upholstered by Allon White. The seats were a rare perforated red leather, but were pre-Probax. Allon White managed to re-use the original leather whilst installing Probax shaping underneath and replacing the lumber support bladder. It made a world of difference... I drove my car from the UK up to near enough Trondheim in Norway and back soon after, so I consider that a thorough test! I have the same seats as yours in my S2 Exige... there is something to be said for getting used to a seat that has no adjustment. I have thought about having th

Unless they're Lincolnshire roadworks, then they'll send you twenty miles down the other roads that need repairing.

Mine hasn't moved since bringing it back from storage- the second time it has been in storage in a year and a bit. Lowest miles done ever between September '19 and now. We were building from September '20 until a couple of days before Christmas, including a new garage roof, so it was tucked away in storage again when I could have used it, and since bringing it back she's been SORNed. Looking forward to getting some time to give her some TLC and then probably tax again in April when we're allowed to move again.

A certain mathematical whizz with spreadsheets I suspect...

Oh I love the blue/white Sprint! I would struggle to choose between that and a Scura.

I remember the first stone chip after I had my S1 re-sprayed, Dave. It hurt! Car looks great.

🤣

Thanks. I'm really happy with that photo- it will be my first calendar entry with the Exige! I did wonder about the fuel filter, Phil. The service book is fully stamped, but maybe with it being such low mileage, like other things, it needs attention based on age. I've just looked up the service schedule and the fuel filter isn't even mentioned; unlike the K series, it seems it is a non-service item in the tank. Erk. I wonder if I get a code reader something might show up?

Hi all, With lockdown easing, I took a glorious trip up to Norfolk on Sunday from Berkshire. 320 miles of fun, (minus the M25 which still has people sitting in lane 2 at 65mph with lane 1 empty). Anyway, at some point on the A11, roughly 4000 rpm, engine at temperature, not under acceleration or cornering, I lost power for a second- not a total loss, not even like a lift off from the accelerator. It was fine for the rest of the journey. This has happened before on the way back from LiTP last year, same sort of circumstances. No issues starting, with oil or with cooling. 23000 m

Oh dear, 13/17.

Actually that was back in my S1. No roof rack, no trailer. Just a very small tent and every inch of space used.

The next drone for LiTP perhaps?! I don’t think the design criteria included carrying enough kit for a camping road trip around Norway either... versatile cars these!

Great work Phil. Will it fly? I needed to get out to the supermarket today... well there's no rule about which car you have to use is there?

Lovely looking work Dunc. I was hoping to replace my soffits and fascias until having a sample test on the existing boards. Asbestos. Well that's a DIY job just become an expensive professional job. 😤
