The good morning thread

[CatmanV2]

Marrons Glace I adore, but dad will probably get me some later in the month, so no panic.

We will need to arrange transfer

Lovely blast own to Poole today, roads were clear sun was out and the roof was down, one of those days when owning a Spyder is the best thing in the world.

Trip back on the train was no where near as much fun but at least in a few weeks she will be sparkling after the visit to the bodyshop and her annual service.

Dull trip to Poole on the train - great drive back! Did we overlap? - I was at Emblem from about 10 to 11. New wheel bearing, some suspension stuff and a wheel alignment so I am few quid lighter but she drives even better. Its great to hear the exhaust again over the sound of a grinding bearing. I really missed not having the car outside for a couple of weeks.
Bodyshop next week for some tidying up of an annoying scrape and a kerbed wheel, so I'll be a few more quid lighter. Whats next I wonder? Still, a few minutes back in the car and you realise its all worth it.

Your car was parked next to my black 4200 in the far corner. My F1 fluid decided to dump itself all over the A35 last night en-route to Weymouth. Emblem recon it's likely to be the release bearing. Cry.

There were some gorgeous cars there this morning. I was staring at the blue and tan 456. I was there around 1020-1100.

Dem how was it then? Enjoy the Hawksmoor recommendation?

 

[Felonious Crud]

What a day. Ended up working for far too much of it. Got adequately finished by 6-ish which gave me time to pack enough clothes to probably see me through until Thursday (away to Dubai tomorrow and then London on Wed/Thu) and then enjoy a great dinner and bottle of wine with Mrs. N. Car coming at 5am. Bleurgh.

I think you were talking too Martyn whilst I was waiting outside, were you talking about removing all the shims out of the front end but still not getting the alignment spot on ? and talking about blocked pollen filter drains?

The 456 was left just before me. I was there about 10:30 ish, was back at the Bournemouth station at 11:15.

The 911 Turbo they had in was stunning, a proper 4 speeder in immaculate condition.

[Steve GS]

Good morning from monaco. start the drive back up today hope the car behaves like she did on the way down here. Yes this was not enough time for this trip will plan my next one better. As no time to drive the A10 road in Italy I really will regret that but will do route napolian on way back. Just need to get the woman up.

Morning all. Emirates lounge Heathrow today. Hopefully not for all of it, flight's in an hour. Need to get some work done on the flight but mostly I'm hoping to watch a couple of films and generally relax.

Have a good Sunday, everyone.

Morning all, working on the Silver Giulietta getting it ready for its export to Ireland. New owner wants it standard so putting back the standard induction system and fitting the original wheels.
