Looks like a lot of work to sort that out!

That is a real thing of beauty - always wanted a V8 but always scared of the running costs of a beast like this
-
does it have a timing belt - I thought those needed to be changed at 10 years? might be wrong though.

Aluminium wheel and has oxidised and got stuck hard against the steel hub? They are a bugger to shift...

that looks well nice - I'm missing the seaside - guessing most coastal places are really quiet at the minute as no tourists allowed

the insurance company...

Anything is accepted, just make a donation when you enter, it's for help the hero's usually. I may take the MX5 this year if I've got it sorted.
yeah fiver in the bucket and you're in - they tell you where to park up - just tell them its a replica when you go in and they will send you to the right area to park. great place to trade stories and even find parts and as Smartly says - perfect place to find a buyer

Will there be a category for my replica?
There's plenty of replicas and modded vehicles!

Hold on to it Tony and take it to some car shows this summer

Eddie if i recall your car was one of my "test" cars to prove my new settings....... Shocking to think it was so long ago!!!
It was Tony, one of the first ones you used to perfect the non-factory calibrations - I came in with the car less than one year old with 5,000 miles on the clock and the inside wear on the tyres meant I needed all four replacing! 15 years ago :0

got these on DVD - tthe transport series is really worth a watch

This all sounds very familiar - I've had my IS300 since 2003 - since 2004 it has had the geo done by Tony which has kept the problem described above at bay.

How much to put a Mercedes 500S bought for £900 back into good shape?
-
im surprised that motor doesn't just fall over - they must have concrete blocks in the back to counterbalance it!

We must've been there at the same time as we left at 3pm. When everyone started leaving as the sky went grey we hadn't looked around the top bit yet. I was enjoying my pizza too much first!
Yeah we must have been -- next show is Classics on the Green at Croxley on August 7th! Tony bring your car up for it!!

Yes a nice variety on show. Not as many American cars like previous shows and DK Engineering don't seem to attend any more.
I think the early morning rain put some people off and it spat a few times when I was there, then loads of cars started leaving!
Did you manage to go this year Eddie?
Yes Rich - I went for a couple of hours in the afternoon - when it threatened to rain quite a few cars left!
-
some really nice cars there!

Reaching out the Tesla owners club chairman and a suspension development company has requested wim to solve a drastic tyre wear problem.
Out of my sight owners have complained about the violent inner tyre wear problems, so I need to conclude the reason is simple changes in the chassis positions or that the Tesla settings are incorrect?
In order to gain insight they will deliver to us a brand-new model S so we can confirm or deny the build quality geometrically...
So, to be continued.......
sounds like the problem that affected the old Lexus IS model.....

£36,500 though. ....... f that
yeah should be a fair bit cheaper in the next few years. the electric motors are much cheaper to build - the extra cost is in the battery packs...
