I might have sold my car, (sound of sobbing heard where ever you are) but I've not gone. I'm still lurking.

Sad day, I cannot imagine selling mine yet. It was you that convinced me to go for a Viento in the first place when you gave me a ride in yours at Newark. Happy to return the favour and take you for a spin if your going to be a Stoneleigh this year.

I hope that you told the buyer that it was a condition of sale that they join the owners club and attend Stoneleigh.

They already asked If I was going to Stoneleigh this year. He is already on this sight as B33fy. The trouble is when option are very strictly limited then, ........

My MILFH (mother-in-law from hell) lives down there, so hopefully it will terrorise her down there.

Been doing a little work on Clive's old car, it's progressing well, another couple of days should see it running. A couple of images below.









Hoping that any teething problems will be ironed out for a trip to Stoneleigh. Looks like there'll be a few from the SKCC coming along on the Sunday, if the Luego posse' are about I'll swing by the stand and say a hello, maybe accompanied by Kenton also??.

Looks good.

Those rockers are nice. Is Viento V8 etched in? How did you do it?

They are cast with the name in situ, the company can put any name you like 14 characters max I believe. As much as they look great, it was a real headache getting them, the guy was very unreliable and had to keep chasing, took 2 months in all. (JR castings).

I sold my MK Indy a few years ago - sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and an empty garage. Oldest son was devastated when the new owner drove it away - he asked several times when the guy was going to bring it back. Selling cars is never easy, but be glad it's gone to what looks to be a caring owner and use the money for something else (or another car).

A bit of snagging to sort, though managed to take the car for a quick spin saturday, overall a success though bit of s bone shaker. Lol. Clive just wondering if you can recall what the spring rates are?

Not of the top of my head. They were standard Luego supplied for the the standard build. I did get an extra pair of springs at one of the shows with a view to changing them at the rear (IIRC) but again never got round to it ( I think I passed those onto you, i.e. I haven't found them here) I did set the dampers a bit on the firm side as that was my preference for a stiffer rather than bouncy ride (oooh er missus' ). I never did likea car that rolls around a lot.
