Nothing for the zed, just doing a bit of cosmetic work on the oil burner.

My, that's a familiar looking jack. Had mine for a few years now and still works a treat, not bad for a cheap thing.

It does enough for me, picked it up straight from the SGS factory in Derby as it's just down the road. The other trolley jack I've got came from Lidl some years ago and does it's job.

Always use stands when jacking the car Adrian, a friend of my family got his head crushed when a jack slipped.

Air filter, oil filter, oil and enough shampoo to last all year.

enough shampoo to last all year.

I think we all know someone who would beg to differ. A week, maybe.

I've a tendency to buying stuff I don't really need, but… Got this pair of covers for the hardtop mounting kit at an astronomical cost, but they look good:

The arrows are pointing at bits that are not included. I am silly, but not silly enough to spend yet more money for those…

 

[t-tony]

Are they as expensive as those fancy covers for an E85 Z4?

Tony.

Well, don't know about that, but I paid €107.00 each, which I think is a bit expensive for some extruded plastic covers...

I guess that's inflation for you. There was a time I'd pay less than that for a complete working car..........

Yep, my first sports car (a Spitfire 4) cost me £90.00. It was a bit rubbish mind, but had lots of fun with it!

Eh! I have a Spitfire IV (1972) that I bought some six years ago. I paid considerably more than £90.00 for it, though.

I do agree with the assertion that as a sports car, it's rubbish. I should have bought the GT6...

Mine was a 1963 Spitfire 4 (Mk1) bought in 1973. Had a 1973 GT6 in 1980; rattled like anything and quite rusty then. Build quality poor really, but standard at the time.

 

[the Nefyn cat]

Ah, the GT6. Such a pretty car, and a lovely sound, too. Must poke around on Youtube and find out how that young man is getting on with grafting in a V8.

I thought I'd splash out on a magnetic sump plug. It will interesting to see if it picks anything up in the future.
