Well, after 2 and a bit years stored in the garage LE #0111 is back on the road. I'd only intended to SORN it for the summer of 2006 while I enjoyed a bit of fun in the X1/9 but the fun kind of lasted a bit longer than I'd expected ! LOL.

Anyway, after a bit of work to free up the handbrake and a couple of replacement bulbs she's back ! If I keep driving it like I did this morning then a tank of fuel won't last me 3 days - it's a bit addictive isn't it ?!

Here are some pics of the car from before she went away :

I'm sure I'll be out taking more piccies on some of these crisp (cold) Autumnal mornings

Anyway, it's great to be back in the Coop and to be able to overtake stuff again. Hooray.

My LE hit the tarmac again today too.... because I didn't see the high kerb

Now I have a nice white divet scratched out of my drivers side LE lip.

Mmmmm..... not the same as your topic really but what the hey!

Welcome back anyway Chris

Nice looking LE welcome back just in time for winter :-)

So you are the man with the plate that follows Mine

Bob

nice one, how did u get the side lights so bright?

Loving the X19, it's such a cool car.
Any rust?

Philip

God you guys have some nice cars! I thought mine was in pretty good nick paint wise, but yours are all so flippin shiny!! They really do look like cars that cost far, far more money.

You've inspired me to spend the weekend polishing mine. Won't be as good, but worth a try!

Ah yes, indeed ! I think I must've seen your car at Stanford Hall then ?



That's a very special and secret trick called ... long exposure ! It's all a trick of the camera, rather than genuinely bright lights !



Haha, funny. (seriously, you don't really need me to answer that question do you ??! Is Rabbi Goldstein Jewish ?)

How's the Coupe doing after not being driven for a couple of years?

The car looks looks lovely.

I hope you've submitted some of these pix to Julia for the Fccuk calendar
