Your fleet running reports

[Sundayjumper]

@Sundayjumper I’ll buy it.. pick it up this weekend?

Can you throw in a years servicing?

Oh. D'oh. Totally could have done an oil change in the asking price.

[IanF]

Never mind.. glad you’ve sold it relatively painlessly

[Sundayjumper]

No worries. Next time I have a dodgy old BMW to sell you’re my first port of call

In all seriousness I’m hugely thankful it sold today as the money is really needed. My wife has an organ transplant booked next week.











This is arriving on Wednesday:

(it really is, “organ transplant” is a rarely appropriate pun that we’ve had huge mileage from recently )

[DeskJockey]

You have an in-house organ (fnar)?

[mik]

Wow - what’s the details?

I’m always blown away when organ players do two hands on the keys and feet on the pedals. Respect to Mrs Jumper

Amazing. Now you'll learn the true meaning behind 'pull out all the stops'.

She’s a talented lady. I hope she really enjoys playing on your organ, SJ.

They're sending two strong men on Wednesday to help get it in

It's a second hand Allen C6.

Most of it means nothing to me as I have zero musical talent. It's about 20 years old. Allen have a showroom & workshop in High Wycombe which is not too far from here. Despite the age all spare parts are available and as it's coming from a main dealer they offer a five year warranty as well as installation, and fine-tuning the sound & action to suit the customer. Impressed.

It has a volume control of course but as it's intended to fill a small church it's never going to go above about 10% in our dining room Thankfully it has a headphone socket as well.

Wife very excited of course. Apart from houses & cars it's the biggest (both size & £s) thing we've ever bought.

I'm hoping the neighbours don't gather round to watch. It'll be embarrassing if I can't get it in.

With persuasion I'm sure it'll go in. Ramrod straight and with the right amount of push.

Will you be joining in or just watching?

i’ve got a track outing with the Elise in a few weeks time so thought i’d give it a good look over. i’d noticed a few little bits like a brake light, some missing clips i wanted to replace and a few more new rattles to investigate. Also that the exhaust wasn’t sitting very well in its opening - the left was sat against the bodywork.

Got it up and in a very surprising “lots of access to actually see stuff” in a lotus, the exhaust hanger had broken off. I’ve ordered a universal hanger that should arrive friday, for me to fit it saturday ahead of the track day in wednesday. All a bit tight!

i might take the opportunity to replace the rear diffuser too - the one it has is a little chavvy for my liking - it sticks out about 5 inches from the rear. or i could try cutting it down whilst it’s off, but no idea if i’ll be able to do a neat enough job and not scratch the powdercoat.

They're simple things. Where you going for your STW?

Almost correct, but should be all capitals.

Clearly I have fallen from the heady heights of Evo Forum lore.

But it's OK, my car is TOO EXTREME for SERIOUS TRACK WORK thanks to it's 19" wheels.
