    Essex Lancia owners

    Few people met at The Chequers, Matching Green this evening. Nice drive in the dark, headlights (LED) are really good, but one side light out, bent pin in the multi-plug, and no instrument lighting, which is strange 'cos they were working yesterday, ho hum, more fixing to keep me occupied.

    Re: Essex Lancia owners

    Great to meet Griff (we had met some years ago when I had sold some OMP racing seats to him for a Stratos project he was embarking on but the grey matter didnt put 2 & 2 together until we were chatting), and also John Whalley and to hear some of his stories campaigning his beast.

    We had a great drive home to Bures to swop sShapes over for another car only to find the Dunmow road was closed so all in all a 60 mile ride at night in Shades which was now telling me I need to improve the pop up head lights as when dip they just dont give enough light......

    So the Essex Strati have had their first sub-regional meeting!! Trying to get Suffolk one organised later this month.....

    It makes perfect sense to put it there under the roof spoiler. It must get a deal of force feeding.
    Steve Ellis has a similar setup on his Corse but just go get some cool air into the engine bay.
