Lots of driving, other progress.

Some great drives recently, down to Goodwood for breakfast club, a trip to Horsham (time on a 737 flight simulator, a birthday present) and yesterday to an excellent gathering of Loti organised by the Historic Lotus Club and held at Oakley hall - a great location on a lovely summer day.

Took the car over to Lakeside today to have the radiator repaired (again!) and to fit the new door handles that I managed to find on eBay. Hopefully that will enable me to lock the driver's door....

I also managed to find a nearside door catch on eBay.

Rode back on my single speed bike. Tiring!

Max called to say that he's managed to find the door frame liners that hold the window glass in place - stopping the glass rattling.

I'm getting about 30mpg so far. Oil consumption is pretty high. We 're using 5/40 fully synthetic at the moment, that will be reviewed.

Last week I also had a play on Silverstone in an Audi R8 (another birthday present, thanks Alexa!). Very fast but the electronics take away the feel.
