Great to hear from you again and that the family are doing well.

Best wishes and post occasionally.

Very good to hear from you and pleased to hear you and your family are doing well. And your DIY major house repair jobs have worked brilliantly!

Good to see you are enjoying your new Alfa and keeping it and the Citroen on the road. We love to hear of ingenious car repairs on here even if not Midget, as well as house repairs/projects so do drop in to say Hi from time to tim...

And Cuba next on the list for change.

"According to documents released by the US Department of Justice, investigators reviewing surveillance video from the night Epstein was found dead in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center observed a fuzzy, orange-coloured shape moving up a staircase toward the wing (known as a ‘tier’) of the jail that contained his cell.

Good to hear all OK Cedric. From your last image I assume you must be a mate of Flip, see 1st image in Flip's 'Steering wheel boss' thread in Midget and Sprite Technical for explanation.

If I didn’t bored you with my life yet, on the motor side, the Mazda MX5 (2.0 56 plate) is gone :( someone jumped a red light on me, and with 108,000miles, that was the end. No blood, no bruise, and I was lucky to get a witness phone number who helped got all my money back from the third party insurance. This 2.0 engine was great! Can be found in few Ford too, highly recommend! Would not miss th...

Good evening Mike, William, Rob,

Thank you for asking for news, much appreciated. Feels like it was only yesterday that I was asking plenty of beginner’s question, but time has flown! I still clearly remember everyone’s help and patience :) Which I guess is one of the reason I still have the Midget ;)

Sadly, she has been mostly sitting on the drive for the last 3 years or so ...
