2016 Road to Le Mans

[zagatoes30]

My prep has consisted of:-

• Emblem to check out Spyder, replace CC pump
• Purchase of Maserati flag to join the current Alfa flag on flagpole
• European breakdown cover
• Try to avoid getting stitched up by the organising committee - hence tonights trip to the prep meeting

My organisation for the trip consists of

buying a cushion
having a translation book on me (no more encule)
beer drinking every evening

My car will be finished this weekend, rear tie rods and a check round underneath, wishbones, brakes etc and put the under trays back on, also its just had 2 new rear Goodyear F1's and a full service.

Just the detailing left to do but thats only a days work.

Oh, then sell it and buy a Strad in 3 weeks, I forgot about that one

 

[D Walker]

Are you still taking it to LeMans!!

 

[conaero]

Are you still taking it to LeMans!!

I expect so yes.

There's something deeply troubling about any sentence which references both Benny and small bikinis. It's an image I would never have wished for and one which I urgently need to go away, never to return.

You need an urgent mind bleach

You need an urgent mind bleach

Therapy is what I need!

Car collected from Grimaldi. Exhaust valve solenoid fitted, oil changed, clean bill of health passed, green Gallardo coming up for sale briefly drooled over before running away.

Just the pimping to do now, then.

 

[StuartW]

Good to see the exhaust sorted eventually Adam - what does your pimping involve or it a surprise?

 

[Felonious Crud]

Hallo Stuart! You have a new name. I'm aiming to surprise myself.

 

[zagatoes30]

Plans now in turmoil, might be taking the GT now

 

[Spartacus]

Le Mans prep continues . Powder coating my wheels this morning . I really must get a new hobby


Colour coat

 

[MAF260]

Beige wheels?? They'd go better with Geoff's JRG machine!

 

[Felonious Crud]

Oooh, how very drab. No-one tempted by spinner rims..?

 

[Contigo]

That Las Vegas pimp look a set of 22" spinners!

 

[Spartacus]

Laquer coat . Perfect

 

[zagatoes30]

So looking at stripe options for the Spyder for Le Mans

Narrow, Wdie, Narrow like on this TVR



Or two wide like on the Mustang



And then white as above or grey as below

 

[zagatoes30]

Or a better view of each type on the same car (and similar colour to mine)

 

[Felonious Crud]

Good work, Sparts!

Zag:

 

[conaero]

Go as per the last pic of the blue GS on track but in charcoal metallic.

 

[maverick]

See moz1000 car in the post trip to France ,I have the same stripes bought from him which I was going to put on my car but as I have just had it resprayed I don't want to risk damaging the paint as it will still be soft, so not going to put them on now £50 if you want them this is what I paid for them .
