MY CAR HAS AN MOT Big Grin

It only took 6 months but I'm ready for JAE. Big thanks to Matt and Paddy for all the help.

You coming with Matt to meet us tomorrow?

I'm thinking about going down tonight, I need to collect my ticket from Toxo and drop a few bits off at my folks place in Northampton. I've got a few bits and bobs to do in Manchester tonight though so if I end up here quite late then I'll travel down with you lot tomorrow.

I need to locate an is200 radiator and fan switch connector as the rad is currently held together with rad-weld and we've bodged the connector so the fans are always on to stop it from over heating. It's been fine on the way back to my apartment but I'll probably just take 10L of water with me in the car and top it up if it ****** out coolant on the way down.

Long story short, the answer is "maybe" depending on what happens tonight.

You got a pic of the connector. I may have one.

About time!!

Stav - I'll probably need both sides of the connector as the pins have corroded, one of which has sheared off into the plug you can see in that picture.

And Phil - I know mate, it felt so good to be back in the car. Particularly as it's running really sweet now (aside from the ruined rad). I thought I'd stalled when I pulled up to the lights as it was so friggin smooth it didn't feel like it was on. First time I've driven it since we reset the two skipped teeth.

Its like an old friend!!
Soarer is about to get a wash and vacuum the inside.

It's more like getting a limb back. I'm looking forward to seeing the Soarer, I'll race you for slips... on foot.
