As the Exige has been sitting awaiting collection, it’s proven a dangerous period of downtime to have other little niggles fixed with the car too.

After spending entirely too long um-ing and ah-ing about the wheels, I’ve finally bitten the bullet and went for a satin anthracite finish. I did think about refurbing to the original diamond cut finish, but ultimately thought this might prove to be a largely fruitless task as they’ll invariably need doing again after not too long.

I’m hoping they’ll turn out something akin to this, except with a red calliper and a traditional colour Lotus roundel:



I am now suffering from an unreasonable amount of anxiety as to whether I’ve made the correct choice as a result.

Monaro
Is sold. With various issues on an engine rebuild, I'd fallen out of love with it. I dearly miss having a V8 in my garage, but I would want to start with a clean slate and try something different. Looking back through my photos, I don't have a single picture of it from the last 18 months or so, which says a lot.

As you posted several updates, I missed this! I knew it was onky a matter of time when we last chatted about it.... onwards!

i always thought the diamond cut was too fussy (and even a bit cheap Korean looking) on the Exige - I like your choice.

As per Rich - they are going to look great.

I was at Craig’s on Saturday buying a car and saw the beast. Craig said you were getting the wheels done. His guy did mine a few months ago and the came back spot on.

They look better one colour, and as a bonus, because you're not having them cut again there will be enough meat on them for a diamond cut refurb in the future if you change your mind / for the resales / for the next owner.

As per Rich's comment, they'll look much better that standard, which did look a bit cheapo. Correct choice confirmed.

Nothing exciting - 1.4 Polo for my brother to run to his work. He needed something cheap as his E91 320d was dying.

Land Rover failed it's test

Needs welding. Some bad bits on the dumb irons that I hadn't spotted.

Had to google that - have never heard chassis legs called that before.

It's an odd term. Used in association with old shit heaps that use leaf springs for suspenders.

The service light on mine came on today so I’ve booked it in for the end of the month with the MOT too. I had a good look at the Twisted ones last week at Goodwood and am now getting many expensive ideas. Hopefully I’ll get over my urges come service time.

At long last the Goodyear F1 Supersport have been released in 245/35 R18 for my M140i. I've ordered a pair from Mytyres so can proceed in killing the PS4's that are approaching end of life!

Twisted is up by me and they do some nice stuff. Chap in our village had an LS engine version a while ago and it sounded awesome!! Seemed to go quite well too.

Yeah I really want a LS swap but I reckon in 5 years time you can pick up a next generation used Defender V8 for the price of a conversion on an old one so I’m no longer as interested as I used to be.

Getting old and boring I've been purposely driving sensibly to see what sort of mpg I can get out of the mito.

Over the last couple of weeks / 550 miles I've average 37mph and 39mpg, which is a little dissapointing tbh for a small 1.4 hatchback.

Lack of 6th gear seems to hurt it on a run. Bimbling along at 40-50 mph it sits at 60-70mpg. Cruising at 70 it's about 44.
