Oh I forgot. Had a hand grafted Gearknob made by Builtbybasil.com which arrived yesterday. feels great.

Thought I would update. Still have the MX5, Unfortunately failed the mot this year on Rust. So a plan was made and off it went down to MX5 Mania for some tlc. new chassis rails and side sills, boot lid and wheel arch repairs, then an engine refresh new radiator and cam belt and full service. then if to the body shop for a few panels re spray.

You can get the covers from Skoda, no good if you use CCS though.

So this afternoon we went for a test drive for an hour, really enjoyed it, think I drove about a mile and Lynz did about 30 on a mixture of roads. Very impressed.. so order placed. 60 Suite. Race Blue 20”Vega Wheels Drive Sport basic Climate Pack Plus Convenience Pack Plus Parking Pack Base Did think about the heat pump, but car will only do about 20 miles a day with the odd longer run, so didn’t think it nessasery. Been advised it might be 30 weeks, although, my dealer has had a few through in 12-14 weeks, so who knows. Anyway we are both happy and the wait begins, and got £800 more for our px than we paid for it over 2 years ago from the same dealer.

Can’t beat a Citigo, had ours since new and now used by our daughter as her first car.

Looking good so far.

Ooh sounds interesting.

Excellent thank you.

So we are thinking of upgrading Lynsey’s Fabia, spec wise think we have settled on. 60 Suite in Race Blue with the following options. Climate Pack Basic. Convenience Pack Plus. Parking Pack Basic. Drive Sport Pack Basic. Popped into my trusted local dealer today to run the numbers and have a test drive booked for next Monday.

How do you find the progressive steering, is it very noticeable? I prefer the 3 spoke wheel.

Very nice Pete, hope you are well.

Top work.

Glad it’s still an ongoing project, looking lovely.

Not sure about main dealers, but superskoda do.

Car looks lovely Sasha

I decided against full suspension because I will mainly be on road with the odd light trail, also stock availability limited. cause mine is now just been discontinued I got a little off so came in just under £2k which I was happy with. yep it is limited to 25kph but quite easy to pedal above that speed.

Well after a year of watching EMBN on YouTube i finally bought an emtb originally wanted a full suspension bike, but after much thinking and the fact I probably won’t be launching myself down the side of a Cliffe anytime soon, and 97% of the time I would be on road and odd flat trail I decided on a hard tail. Went to the local bike shop a couple of times to see what they had in, first couple of visits was very little due to no stock because of COVID. Went in last week to see what was available, and they still had a long lead time and no guarantee of getting the bike. But I saw a Haibike Sduro Hardseven in a large size which was the last bike they had in stock. Was told to take it for a spin round the block, Wow what a machine, so comfortable to ride, with so much room, coming from a 25yr old bike! So I said I would take it, thinking I would come back in week to pick it up, “We can have it, ready in an hour for you to take today” came the reply , so I rode it the 8 miles home all through the towns, not cycling gear on. Anyway that enough rambling on, Been out a few times and clocked up 65 miles in a week, normally used to manage 18.. So here is a quick pick.

The second one seems so much better than the first FOW car. I know it’s more money, but you have to be happy, I always have a little budget creep when cars are involved!

That does look nice.

Download onto a usb stick and then connect to the car, then on radio settings it should say something like in port artwork.
