I am in London for our Board meeting and then an investor meeting, later I am off to the pub by way of a reward ! This evening I need to get ready for a long weekend in Bulgaria with Mrs Scaf. London is very cloudy but at least it’s not raining - yet o_O

Is more “lube” your answer to everything o_O :D

That was exactly what he did

Double check the battery connections and check the battery you bought is not a complete dud. Sam

They often include “Stradale” in the title as well, so your are right to research the detail - knowledge is power, or so they say. Good luck with your search, all models are awesome, it’s just the degrees of awesomeness that varies and some of that is in the eyes of the beholder. :p

I remember that, and from memory it was not this car either …… o_O I think previously there was a Countach that crashed on the test hill :confused:

I have a love hate relationship with the weather forecast and have either not made plans because of the forecast or had plans ruined due to the inaccuracy. The other day BBC weather was telling me it was raining but the sun was out and I was in a T shirt washing the car. They do tend to be...

Just had my place on the track confirmed - fingers crossed it will dry.

I think yoru will see and hear the difference much more when on the open road. I have an H pipe and when not in RACE mode ( I have the Stradale) the valves open at around the 3000 3500 mark it’s like Armageddon when during but hardly noticeable stationary and just revving. Albeit I appreciate...

Interesting to see how those back boxes and valves work, can I ask, have you got an X pipe ?

If the subframe is in good condition I believe it can be protected without removing it, although full removed would allow for 100% protection. Most of us reply on regular wax protection. See this thread for replacement options...

So yesterday I decided to repaint the black highlights on the Strad front bumper which had been rattle canned “satin black” but should be Alfa 693/B Grigio Anthracite Metallic. Prepped and etch primer yesterday, today top coat and satin lacquer. Not a perfect job, but 100% improvement from the...

Need to finish tidying up the “black detail” on the Strad front bumper, I am sure it was originally painted with “blackboard” paint o_O Am taking my son out in the Panda on some local Green Lanes later, bound to upset the dog walkers who don’t seem to have a clue that motor vehicles are allowed.
