As some of you know, I've recently had my engine fully rebuilt by Yami and Jimmer. Now, wanting to pre-empt fate...being the pessimistic SOB that I am, I thought I'd take it to a wedding I'd been invited to just outside LeMans.
So, drove it to and from work just to iron out any probs it may have....ie, electrical contacts etc.
Did it miss a beat? Did it hell! So took it to France and did about 1,000kms in it. The engine is a pure gem, pulls very well, is lovely and smooth and sounds fantastic. Was a bit of a gamble...also because I’d not managed to get euro breakdown cover in time...but I didn’t friggin’ need it
Starting to enjoy the car again now. That's actually my first long distance run in the thing really since having it nearly a year. There's still loads of bits and bobs I want to do to make the car totally perfect and almost concourse.
Anyway, here are some piccies...all a bit samey, but not posted any piccies of the car that I've been really that happy with.
Just took these to try and capture the pearl in the paint more than anything as the sun was at such a lovely height.
On the ferry on the way back, I got chatting to a load of American College girls. Meet Ashton....she was an absolute beauty! My battery ran dead before I could get pics of the others, but have their e-mail addresses! ;)
