Another notable who died recently was the eminent plastic surgeon Dame Polly Ethe-Lynn.
Rather tragic really: one freezing cold night she went to sleep too close to an open fire and melted.

One thing that’s puzzling me, is when removing this intake pipe, I found this hole open with nothing going into it. There’s no loose pipes anywhere hanging so nothing has fallen off so something must have been intentionally removed I gather. Would anyone know what this should be? Being open just before the turbo and no filtration can’t be that good!
Also thought I’d add a pic of the turbo and FMIC kit. This is where the oil vapor recirculation hose connects to. A common modification is to delete this connection and fit a blanking plug to opening...but yours appear to be a blanking plug which has developed a hole in it?

It looks like the Italian car day is not going to be at Newby Hall this year and will be on 8 June at Norwood Park, Southwell which is very near to me so I’m going to book that: https://www.clubalfa.co.uk/events/national-italian-car-and-motorcycle-day-2025-656-744Southwell is not really geared up for lots of traffic, it can be busy enough at the best of times so it could be a bit chaotic! I’m also going to book the Newby Hall, Sports Cars in the Park at the beginning of May. Hopefully see some of you at one (or both) of these events. Andrew

Hi Simon
I guess we are all hoping for the weather to improve and get the cars out again.
Today I was free so took the car for test. Passed, no issues.
The exhaust centre box is banging on the body when the roads are rough. Not bad but will adjust it one day in the next few weeks. It takes a while to get right as there is very little room.
Now I just have the crash damage to sort on Karen's car!!!! Keeps me off the streets I guess.

The above on the shelves published by Octane so eagerly flicked through it thinking the coupe should be there. Sad to report it doesn't make the cut but the Fiats which do are the X1/9 (take a bow Pete P) and the Barchetta. Some surprises - MGF / TF gets mid-table (take a bow GMan) but Suzuki Cappuccino - really??  To be fair I've never driven one so can't make a judgement but perhaps I'm missing something

There's a silver one parked in Kenilworth. Is it anyone here?

The first meeting of the year is on Saturday 5th April from 10:00. For those who haven't been before, it is here: The Departure Lounge Cafe, Basingstoke Rd, Alton GU34 4BH Here is a link to the meetings.There is usually a good selection of Italian cars and their owners who are quite happy to chat.

Excellent, I'll be going. Do we just buy normal tickets from the website or is there a club discount for displaying vehicles? No discount unfortunately, but if you are a Brooklands member you get into all their events free.

There was a green one in Frampton (where I originally spotted it) some years ago, it was quite distinctive as it had thick brown stripes on the outer edges of the bonnet as wide as the headlights. Never seen another like it.
