WF Time is this?

Even the dog looks tiered...

Going to Birmingham in a few minutes to pick up a new car. Note, it is not a Hijet  

This is the earliest I have woke up since February  

Wondered wtf you were doing up now.  

Just logued on to find the three of us on here together. Logi I expected to find but not you Matt. Bit early for you my friend.
Safe journey to Birmingham and you tooLogi. I know you have quite a treck to work too.
I have got all of 6 miles to my workshop. 12minute journey    

Got back from birmingham at 9:30 this morning, that is quite a result for me - I actually acheived something before 10am.

Glad we did go early, as we missed the M6 Birmingham traffic on the way down, and got out with clear roads.

What did you come back with?

Flu I expect !!

smaller bank balance?

A hangover and a sore bottom?

Have you been reading my facebook status?!

In that case, a larger bank balance

Nah, just what usually happens to me when I go there.....  

They should rename the black country to brown country.

You got those tinted specs on again?

Come on HJ ---stop beating about the bush, spill the beans man --- just WHAT did you buy that you are too ashamed of to tell us ??

Brown....Birmingham....ashamed......sounds like an Allegro

This is what I bought...

Looks like a pile of shite?




So it IS an Allegro...

Strangely though the top end of the engine and bore etc are all pretty decent.

If it turns out the main bearings are not spun so much that the block is mullered I will be a very happy chap. I won't hold my breath mind you.

Otherwise I have to find an engine somewhere.

So what engine is it? HD-E?

2zz-ge

Lotus Elise then?  

  What you think I like crawling out of my car onto the footpath on my hands and knees.

Or I have 10k to spare on a late model elise!

We can't all afford to drive around crashing in Jags

No I bought a Toyota Celica. Mid life crises number 2.

I'm probably safer and better off with the engine being like this.

This is my new Toy:-

Nice.(even nicer running )

Very nice mate, i like these!

if this site had a like button I would click it

Looks good - did the house come with it, HJ?

Wheel arches are shouting out to be filled with 19 / 20 inch wheels though   [after the engine rebuild of course]

Those wheels are just perfect for my likings.

15" rubber is the most cost effective to burn.

And I don't like low profile tyres because I live in Cheshire! Tyre flex is good.

And no, unfortunately I had to pay for the house. And I had to lay the drive myself

So I need a new set of rods, and a crank grind..... then the other bits like oil pump, gaskets, fluidsl, belt, and a CV joint.
