I took my hard top off this morning and enjoyed a drive this afternoon with the roof down. Probably the first time I've done that for nearly a year.
Will be going to the Goodwood Breakfast Club tomorrow morning, and then spend the afternoon working on my replacement calipers and wishbones

Gave it a good clean, and then fitted the rear spoiler:

Then removed the hardtop and went out for a quick blast

My weekend started Friday with a pitstop at work to throw off my winter wobblers, yes! back to summer Bridgestones and loving it!

Been to Daytona today to sort out my squealing Fer**o brakes at last. You know how loud they were Andy!

Took a bit off the face of the pads, chamferred the edges, cleaned all the crap off the backs and fitted anti-squeal rubber shims. Then wire brushed everything, regreased the slider pins.

Thanks to the Guru Ray for the use of ramps & worldy advice, I can now drive normally in slow town traffic without sounding like a bus yaay!

Also replaced the pollen filter, wow they get filthy don't they?

Well, I started the monster for the first time in 3 weeks only to back it out of my garage so I could get my bike out & go for a blast

Took mine to get the alignment sorted. It felt shit next to my BM and the alignment had toe all over the place which would make it like that.

I need a long drive to see how it feels but i've got man flu so came home then moped around near the river with Mrs and little man. All my adjusters were free, its amazing how much they move stuff! Pleased with the results so far but need a decent blast, back end feels planted

There was a shiny mx5 there and my car is f@#king filthy. But mine sounds sooo much better
