I collected my Zed yesterday afternoon - and have to say what a great job Jim has done...
The new loom and injectors have transformed the car, the engine runs so much smoother and feels more responsive. I needn't have worried about the suspension, it looks lower in the photos than it actually is. It's still on the low side, but Jim has set everything up well - not too harsh, but it also handles just nicely. The steering wheel is dead straight, after Jim replaced the rack bushes and track rod ends and performed a laser alignment - something the usual tyre places often fail to get right.
Suffice to say, I enjoyed the 100 mile drive home - definitely well worth the trip.
Thanks Jim🤩

EURO-ENGLISH
The European Commission have just announced an agreement whereby
English will be the official language of the EU rather than German, which
was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Govt. conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5 year phase-in
plan that would be known as "EuroEnglish". In the first year,"S" will
replace
the soft "C".
Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "C"
will
be dropped in favour of the "K". This should klear up konfusion and
keyboards
kan have 1 less letter. Skhool children will find it easy to read sentenses
like
"the kat is looking for mise in the sity".
Publik enthusiasm will inkrease in the sekond year, when the
troublesome "PH" will be replased with the "F". This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to
reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments
will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a
deterent to akurate speling. Similarly the "CK", which is a kontradiktion,
wil
be replased by "K". Eurokrats in the European Komision rekon on a ten
persent saving in kosts in writen text. A side efekt wil be beter skhol
atendanse.
Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "E" in the language is
disgraseful, and they wil be dropd.
By the 4th yar, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "TH" with
"Z" and
"W" with "V". Zen it vil be simpl to chang final voisd konsonants to
unvoist
konsonants. Zis vil brink ze languag step by step bak to its rots.
Durink ze fifz yar, ze unesesary "O" kan be dropt from vorts kontaining "OU"

After zis fifz yar, ve vil haf a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor
