There's a week and a bit for the water to drain Chris, so I'm optimistic.

Just a quick one today, went over to the Coupe with the intention of continuing removing the sound deadening in the front, only to find it goes under some other thingy at the front, which goes right up behind the dashboard, so I decided to start on removing the dashboard, its got some damage to it anyways and was going to swap it out with my 16v donor cars dash, and man the guide on how to remove the instrument panel wasn't kidding, those clips are so hard to get off.

Pete,
I am planning on being there but since I got an email from Beaulieu today postponing Simply Italian until 20/7/24 on the grounds that their 'grounds' may not be able to cope I fear this too may be cancelled, unless they have their own tractor to pull people out and an industrial strength jet-washer to clean up the cars!! If it happens it happens and I'll see you there.

I'm getting the feeling that maybe it was your dad whom I met at Hopetoun House many years ago? And that he was PaulS and you are now paul, perhaps the person that was assisting with the sale of some tan upholstery a few years back?
Anyway one of you still may have a cinquecento at Alfonso's (last time I looked) where we might be getting some work done on our project coupé...

It's not the size it's how you use it Seriously you're right I really don't want to have to fabricate another down pipe like I did for the 30/82 which had the watergate plumbed in to the exhaust, this one can have a screamer pipe. ........ this was hard work!

Yes well on my dads side, my Nonna is from Bagni di Lucca ...common quick translation ( baths of Lucca ) , but my Nonno , is from a tiny village ( 2 yes, 2 houses, called Abettiao -- I think thats the correct spelling , one house was owned my us, Santi and the other was owned by Pieri ) , which I literally just outside Barga, my brother (Ericand his wife Laura who is/ was a Conneta ) goes every year, and I am going to a wedding there in July this year, where my friends daughter is getting married ( and err yes she is is a ...Pieri !!! . . her fathers name is Johhny , he's very well known in Barga , his mum and sister still live there ). I also have a cousin Brian who has a house just outside of Barga , he is a Corrigan , my dads sister married a Corrigan over 70 years ago ,a big 'thing' in those days . small world !!

I see that you are going with a seperate wastegate Joe. That should make the downpipe installation fit a lot easier than mine was with the integrated wastegate Your turbine housing looks about 4 inches shorter than mine (no smutty jokes please )

I think you know both my parents, and my wifes parents are from Italy, mines are from near Lucca , Delia's are from near Naples ,you could say we are 100% Italian parts ,but assembled in the UK - Delia speaks fluent Italian ,and did Italian translation at uni , sadly I can just get by ....but seemingly, far better when I've had a glass of vino or 2 or 3 or 4

Anyone got experience of using Toll Box Italy from Tolltickets? We've never bothered to look at them before now but I think it should save me from kerbing that same alloy again. There are similar devices available but Tolltickets box works out at 16 euro Inc delivery for it and that covers Italy. Or the box from Bip&Go works out at 24 euro. Shame Italy doesn't do a vignette like Switzerland and others! I'm not keen on toll gates. With my little arms I struggled in the family car to reach to take the tickets and to pay in France, when we went skiing last month. I'm worried about damaging the Coupe as its lower too. I got an Emovis Tag for the French motorways (we'll be heading down through France from the Channel tunnel) just before you posted this. Like you we've not bothered before but I wish I'd done it sooner now. We tend to drive through France most years en route to somewhere and it can be swapped between cars which is great for us. It can be extended for use in Spain and Portugal but unfortunately not Italy. Looking at Italian motoway tolls they seem confusing. Does the Tolltickets box cover all motorways/toll roads in Italy as it says some routes can't be billed? I'm not sure they can be used for driving through the various tunnels. I may go for Toll Box Italy too so I may end up with 2 different ones stuck to the windscreen as they say the holders can only take their tags.

Simon, the Charente is a lovely area, and I'm really envious of PaulW.
I think that Paul keeps his car in an outbuilding. Maybe you could offer your services as a night Watchman.
Paul Yes, it's a lucky car and shares a 60sqM nice dry barn - the garage bit is one half and the other part is a sort of workshop / storage area. It's locked up a night and we have 4 cameras covering the courtyard - not that they are needed as crime in Ruffec is extremely low level. In fact in the last 8 years since we moved here I have never locked our main car, which sits on the driveway. Car is nice and dry already I am afraid. All the polish that has been added over the last year was doing its job, with the water just sitting in 'bobbles' on the surface, so very easy to wipe up with towels! What a shame Simon, I have a spare room, but no piano! Paul

If he provided a piano I could play the Moonlight Sonata, followed by Clair de Lune...

I wouldn't mind driving over and drying the coupe off for you.
I'll only charge for a lovely evening meal and a glass of wine.

I think you need to have a current MOT on the Coupe to be able to transfer a private plate, needs checking but I seem to remember those are the rules. I can confirm that was the case when we wanted to move a plate over a few years back My memory hasn't failed just yet, lol
