Neat work, Must admit when I first saw the damage there I thought you were gonna say just got back from the bodyshop and caused this new damage after having a few pints.

Had the clutch fluid replaced, the clutch and brakes are fed by the same system, but our new mechanic bled the lot, test drive showed up no problems, in for an MOT on Monday, then a Waxoyl coating underneath and it's good to go for a few weeks of trials, the Toyota will be on standby, naturally 😄

Any rodents ever seen within your towers LB? If so, I urge caution. These rodents (the squirrel type) in particular appear to favour Italian made automobile wiring and fuel lines....why don't they just dial Pizza Hut? Would be simpler and more tasty for the ickle buggers surely?

Should also stop thinking that Mansell's 'rat pissing on the NOS Superdream tank' was a bit humerous......these buggers mean business it seems.....and can cause some serious grief. Lord Beer......get the cannons out, we are under attack. Rumour has it, you are next on the list (these rodents could be related to that Greta girl the activist, they certainly look a bit like her).

In anticipation of such attacks, Lord Beer has a clan of fierce fighting warrior rodents specially trained for fighting duties. However, they are quite intelligent and frequently use their skills to raid the local off licence, I'm unsure of their effectiveness in battle situations 🤔

I think the rodent above has had a visit from the grim squeaker

They've been at KITT now too...this is all I have left of him....I should of acted last week when I noticed remnants of chewed plums (or whatever they were) in his engine bay. KITT has a regeneration mode but hopefully they did not eat the button or harness....will report back ASAP.

An exciting update, well not really, the old guy must have misplaced (ripped off) the front undertray, found an original and had the lads pick it up from Luton, needs a bit of a repair but it should tidy up nicely Oh, and the clutch is getting replaced, slight juddering when cold, our mechanic said it would be ok for a while, but I want it right before I swap over vehicles, he can do it in a shift so no real problem 👍🍺

Good grief Prince Comstar, your supposed to keep pets in a cage, not in a Ferrari, unless of course they are posh pets, none the less some sort of punishment is in order, see to it man, I here large caliber weapons are freely available in your neck of the woods 😁

Anyway onward with the replacement clutch, and surprise none of my suppliers have a kit available, nothing of good quality in the UK, much google searching lead me to Autodoc (Germany) they have a valeo kit, the last one in all of Europe, I'll have that then...
.... so, Alfa ownership, no problem, this was a good idea 😄

Oh good grief, the elusive clutch arrived at the beginning of the week, and after checks was duly fitted, or it would have been if it was correct, comparing it with the old one and it's not right, bollocks 😡
So, after more investigation, and part numbers from a friendly Alfa dealer (They wanted £500) and a call to LUK tech department, the correct kit has been sourced for £185, oh well if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing twice.
Hooray for Italian cars 🤔 😄
