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

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:

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 8-)

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.

It's a second hand Allen C6.

https://www.allenorgan.com/support/owne ... 330124.pdf

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 :lol: 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.

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.

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.
