Re:

That Toyota looks awesome. I saw a lovely looking car a while ago and once home Googled it to find it was a Hyundai, the S111. Bloody sweet looking car.

My bro is currently living out his mid life crisis via an Evo, I do hope it doesn't make it an end of life crisis!

Been bombing about in the old Lotus nearly every day in the last month, proving to be very reliable, surprisingly economical, starts fine hot or cold, entertaining, sounds great and love driving it.

Noticed the steering going a bit wierd in the last week though, not self centering, notchy and heavier than normal.

Whipped the steering rack out thismorning and found it was a siezed lower column U/J, good news is that the rack and everything else is fine so just need a new lower U/J (£40) but will probably replace the rack mounting rubbers with polly ones.

While the rack is off i'll clean it up. paint it and re fill it with gearbox oil.

Aslo got the old Disco built back up last week, dont know if i mentioned on here but the cylinder head was cracked in number four inlet port leading to it blowing steam out the exhaust, frustratingly it was running fine otherwise and wasnt overheating, just using lots of water.

I've learned now that 300tdi's are bad for cracking heads.

New (Britpart) head was bought and fitted with new head bolts, all running and sounding fine now.

Looks good doesnt it ?, it bloddy well should, it's had over a grand in parts thrown at it this year

JimiH - you MUST cultivate a droopy moustache and sideboards. Corduroy jacket would be perfect too

Re:

I shouldn't really talk as somewhere I have a reddish chestnut brown 3/4 length leather coat, fully fur lined with a reversed fur collar about a foot wide

Someone gave me it (actually I asked my father in law for it as he was gonna throw it out)
