    Sitting outside cafe this morning nomming down a cake and coffee, watching some barrie in the carpark looking all over my imp, hands on hips, shaking his head and tut tutting.

    He heads over to the cafe and orders a coffee. Works out that it's me who owns the imp and asks, in a very strong Yorkshire accent, "how long have you had the imp?" 

    "oh maybe 3 years? I rescued it from a rusty shell in a field" I tell him, thinking to myself this could be a nice interesting conversation but having a feeling its going to be painful.. 

    "has it still got the original engine?".. he spits out, no interest shown at all in the fact I've taken the effort to rescue a nice little classic car and done a not too bad a job at it.

    "nah.. Ive fitted a Datsun engine in there" I replied. Here we go, this will go one way or the other I thought. 

    Fuck me did he roll his eyes and gave me the dirtiest look. He might as well have walked over and thumped me one with the fists i could picture him building in his fit of barry rage. 

    The conversation stopped there and we left, hannah laughing her arse off at how I've gone and upset another barry with my choice of engine :grin:

    Pre-empt that shit and say "no, I had to put something good in it, you know, reliable, doesn't leak like all those useless union made British engines, so I went with something Japanese, precision engineered and trustworthy.  Fuck the English, if it was so great there we wouldn't be here, am I right?"

    Unfortunately my stash of 4x100 tridens is all being used atm. Although here is a teaser for you, chucked them on a mates mx5 a few years ago. Would have looked much lovelier about 50mm lower. Other set is on my trailer.

    But yes very keen to share factory sharns again maybe another wagnats?

    They're ideal!  Dang.  So good.  A bit lower and a bit less tyre and they'd be chassis scrapingly awesome.
