Why didn't I do that last year? (Well because there was only MMC and I couldn't face driving down to Englandshire, and I was in a hurry and the car's fine with a K in it. Better in fact. Original. Quieter. Not too fast.)

If you Honda it you might even be able to sell it back to Ape at some point?


Oooooh, now there's an idea
Ape, your response surprises me, I would have thought you would have been put off by the patina and provenance. :mrgreen:

If you think about it, it's like giving a car to Dan Jude, except I'll get it back 4 years later, with most of the bits actually sorted.

Obviously I'll have added even more patina and provenance, whilst rubbing off some of the bad patina.

There are now no rattles coming from the shed (except the pax window).

There is some more patina as *someone* (either me or a local, non-Lotus, garage) didn't jack it up right.

But, you know, that adds value.

I wish people would stop talking about Hondas, I spent a mint on it last year!.

No one talking Hondas here, Pete. They vibrate terribly in any case.
