That gives us non-mechanics lots of confidence when we tackle the project! Any help in the relevant thread would be
of great assistance. Will probably wait until New Year now before I/we make any start on it.

:cheers:

I will take time to write some notes and may be do some pics then post them in the appropriate post; I swear !

It's on the internets so it must be true: "It’s the new Alfa Romeo 4C. Every 4C model will have a rear-mid mounted Ferrari engine" :smt044 ..."But, unfortunately, it also won’t have a real sports car suspension. The 4C’s rear wheels aren’t independent: the movement of one wheel affects the opposite wheel" :lol: ..."The 4C was designed this way because its trunk is too tiny for four-wheel independent suspension" qz.com/157043/fiat-new-ferrari-powered-alfa-romeo-c4-sports-car-is-leaving-chevy-and-porsche-an-opening/

And yesterday:-

Picked up new car.

Took it home then for a trip to where it was made and took the mandatory photos.

Booked into a nearby hotel with Bevy for a well earned break .

Recognised a luxury coach in the car park and realised the Mighty Spurs were staying there too. Had lots of photos taken today with players past and present. Went to watch them play the team with Lotus connections. Now on way home.

Shame we lost, but now driving home in the new car with Bev. Still got my Cheshire cat grin. :mrgreen:

Shame we lost, :oops:

Last year they stayed at the Farm and there was a rather nice Mclaren in the car park.

Ha ha.

My Mum had one of those back in the day. Used it to ferry half the school football team around to matches. The sports teacher, Mr NOBLE had one too for the rest of the team.
