Not really been possible to take many pics since getting the car as it has taken MMC 5 weeks to sort out the rear spoiler being painted the way I wanted it... however, all's well that ends well.

It has given me lots of time to hammer it with the machine polisher anyhow :oops:

I have only really driven it back from MMC so it is still on about 5500 miles.
MMC fitted new tyres, Schroth Harnesses and a Stage 3 exhaust for me as well as having the spoiler painted by the folk who do the F1 cars.

I know I would say this, but I really like it 8)

Congrats it looks stunning! I love the Type 72 colour scheme, I miss my Type 72 Elise terribly :(

I'll hopefully see this one out and about Dundee ;)

Looks great, loving the spoiler, but i think you've overdone the sticker kit on the front.

Wow! Amazing car.
I saw it at MMC a few months ago and thought it looked pretty smart then, but it really looks the biz now.

Nice car Jim, I had a good look at it a few weeks ago when I was in for some bits for the 211 :thumbsup

Know it's not JPS colours but I would go for red mirrors like current F1 scheme

They don't look much better than that Jim. Now get some miles on it.

ps:- Arrived at Clare's flat in Dubai at 0100, painless trip as I was met by an electric cart at Amsterdam and Dubai which was great as it was a hell of a walk at Schiphol between aircraft. Also upgraded to Business Class as well, so good food and wine, and plenty of space. Dubai was straight through Immigration, Security and Customs, and Clare was waiting at the door with her car that had been valet parked and brought back again.

First time on an aircraft for years, so a lot better than I was expecting. Brought my laptop with me and a range extender for Clare to give her wi-fi throughout the flat, so all tikety boo.

Looking good!

Think the belts are wrong way round. The Schroth ASM belts (yellow tags) should be inboard to stop the passenger and driver headbutting each other in the event of a collision.

Good spot Frank. Yellow should be inboard.
The belts are also handed so you'll need to swap both shoulder belts from drivers to pax side etc.

Also buckle on the lap belts should be inboard. Can't quite tell on the drivers one from the photo.

wow - I actually think that has more JPS logos than the F1 car and the cigarette packets!! :mrgreen:

Looks nice - going to track this bitch Jim?

Saw the yellow peril when i was in MMC last week, and wondered what it had made room for :thumbsup
