Tunnel Run

I just drove down to Worthing this morning and decided to take a little video of my blast through the tunnel... The sound isn't great, but you can just hear the induction kit roaring through the tunnel!

Slight Issue

We hopped in the so far incredibly reliable Scarlett to pop off on a mission earlier and she was misfiring badly after a few hundred metres. Turns out that the front (long) plug lead wasn't in properly... so I tried reseating it and it broke in my hand! I'm assuming that it's just fragile and old - so time for a new set. Luckily, we have a spare MX-5 lying about, so I pinched one for now and we're up and running again...

Oil and Plugs Change

I realised that Scarlett is about to pass through her 60,000 mile birthday in fewer than 100 miles, so I spent a happy hour changing her oil, filter and plugs yesterday. It may be just wishful thinking, but I'm certain that she drive much better this morning... I'll change her oil again in 3000 miles if it makes this much difference!

I also refurbished the slightly surface rusted upper radiator brackets and remove the remnants of the bracket that holds the standard air box in place.
