[beemaman]

Jez just posted next day signed for so should get it tomorow sometime.

[Jez]

Cheers Wayne. Much appreciated.

[Sir Percival]

Wayne, spoke to Brian today, he says I can have the other one....can you hang on to it for me and I will collect as soon as I can?

Thanks matey.

[beemaman]

Hi
Yes buddy no probs ile keep it here til you pick it up

[Jez]

Had an appointment with the man from the Ministry of Transport this morning. He gave my 250 a thorough checking and declared that it was absolutely fine, and a lovely car!

While I was there I noticed a rather nice 1930's Bentley tucked away in a corner of the workshop. "Ah! That belongs to Mr Davies, he was just admiring your car!" explained the mechanic.

I thought that was a nice compliment.... A good day! On-line to tax it now (might wait until Tuesday though).

Engine seems a bit lumpy and under-powered, but it has not really been driven for 18 months, and the mechanic said 18 month old fuel will not help. I'll fill it with premium gasoline once it's taxed, then see if it improves.

Just have to finish off the chrome side grills, windscreen trim and headlights - and boot handle but this will not be ready before Stoneleigh as I still have to get it chromed. Thanks to Wayne for posting it to me - should arrive today.

Also booked in next week to replace the tatty red hood with a nice new black one.........

[Sir Percival]

Well done Jez.......another milestone chalked up.

Hi Jez car looks good just realised your registration number BPR 737A. My registration is BPR 745A. We must have bought them about the same time looking forward to seeing you at Stoneleigh John James.

[Jez]

Yes, I bought mine registration in November 2016 before I started work on my z3.
I was happy that the MOT tester was not concerned about me having black and white plates, even though they are not legal. Top guy, he gets it. I did have the yellow and white ones in the boot just in case though....

[johnjames]

Hi Jez I have been driving my with the white number plate on the front which I think it suits the car and the Black and silver one on the back if I undo the screws on the back number plate the yellow one is underneath.

[Jez]

Final push to finish in time for the weekend. Its tight, I am not going t be able to get the headlight bezels and covers fitted - I don't want to rush that. Need to fabricate some brackets.
Yesterday I got all the chrome trim fitted around the windscreen. Looks so much better.

Spent last night bonding mesh onto the side vents, and today bonding side vents into the bodywork.

Booked in for a new hood on Friday.......and still waiting for my boot handle to come back from the chroming company. Guess that will be Saturday's job.

Looks nice in red Jez looking forward to meeting you at Stoneleigh. Are you going for a red or black roof ? John James

[Jez]

Black roof John.

See you Sunday!

Looking great Jeremy, I won't have the headlamp covers fitted either, still waiting (a year now) for my stainless ones to be finished & unfortunately my ones with the kit is with the guy for a pattern.
My hood is booked to be fitted next week so will have the tatty old one on for Stoneleigh.
Having problems with Speedo setting (Error keeps showing) - thank goodness for Sat navs with speed reading, tacho (not working at all but gives a pulse when ignition is turned on) & fuel gauge goes straight up to full & stays there
Looking forward to meeting you all at Stoneleigh
