Is that the Previa resting in a popular motor dealership?

There were 2 blokes with the bonnet open looking into it.

Must have been wondering where the engine was! ;-)

They looked a bit confused, scratched their heads, then left...

Previa is regular at MMC. Was there for months last year while the Toyota parts department sent the wrong pipe work repeatedly. In the end Craig got a new pipe made ;-)

Nothing exciting, just a new battery (after 18 years, mustn't grumble).

They love the previa at MMC. Even the MD has a soft spot for it apparently.

The spare Elise is also sitting there. Parts on back order ... Though now its just waiting for tyres, which I must order but keep forgetting.

The Ferg tyre deal was serendipity, coming just after I had reminded myself I needed to order some tyres!

Tut, the Audi has not been driven - there is an issue with the engine/wiring/ECU setup that I cannot get to the bottom of. I haven't yet decided exactly how to proceed but probably I will just get it shipped to a specialist with a history of Audi Elises - I was hoping to get Steve Guglielmi to look at it, but I've not spoken to him about it yet as I haven't worked out the logistics from my end.

Cheers,
Robin

Have to say, was gagging to hear about the Lotus Panzer too!

Hope you get to the bottom of the problem. :-)

Hope you can get it sorted out Robin, seems a shame after all that work that you are not ripping the tracks up.

However you did not follow my advise and example of leaving ones cars standard and not going on the upgrade path. :roll:

Have you retained the standard Bosch ECU Robin?
