weren't you trying to say - 'i love it when a plan comes together' in y6our best cigar-chomping voice ?

DB - i am quite perplexed that this reared it's head again (wish i could tell you why as well). prior to selling the car - i did do a few few silly speed runs, booting from different speeds, to see if the smoke had stopped. all i can say is that it didn't do it then (as you have mentioned, it doesn't do it all the time) but i did check with mark (phoenix) who told me that even after booting it during his test drive - the underside of the car was bone-dry. as for the lack of confidence - well it wasn't the reason but that i rarely got out of london hence rarely needed to give it stick. it did not stem from confidence issues as i found the car performed well enough. i sincerely hope that you find the cause of this smoke and i hope it is a minor thing.

bry - i did not change them in the end but got the bolts tightened up and this cured the problem for me ( as you remember, on the test drive day - it was raining but no sign of water leakage at all ?). apparently my rubber was considered in ok condition but the roof was not fully closing properly hence the re-screwing by a mechanic and that did the job. what's happened bry ? p.s. have you had the roof off yet ?

in all honesty, i have seen this car when he began the modding process from almost dead stock to the beautiful beast it has become due to his hard work (and not a little dosh!) today and must say it is one of the loveliest examples around and he keeps it in such great condition. well done mate !
