Well.......ITS GONE!! :(

yesterday when going into the hairdressers to make an app. for my head shave *gulps* and said can you come back in an hour! yikes!! so off i trotted and she made a very strange job.......she took half of it off and made a big spikey mahican at the back........


and so here is the pile it left! i showed it to someone and they thought it was a dog :D lol anyone need a wig ;)


and here is the before and after! needless to say that when i came outside it was bloomin cold!! i think i need to get a nice wooly hat lol owell of to the cape verde islands soon :D:D





after family (of which half still dont know its been done) the 1st lot to see was everyone at the nottongham tssc/ct meet last night (by the way great to make it to a meting claire finaly! youve done a great job there and i won some beer and a mocrowave heat pack thingy :D top banana!) and claire was gobsmacked and a few didnt even reconise me for a minuite :D lol

and a final note to say it was in aid of charity and partly down to im bonkers......was in aid of the NACC which if you read my profile you will now why i pick them :)

a few things that have happened since buying...

Accidents.
well 1st off only a couple of weeks after buying it and they day before my 1st show at Notts. my sisters friend decided to smash into it with her clio! she apperantly didnt see a bright yellow car and didnt hear the roaring straight 6.........I've told my sister to buy her some parking sensors for her birthday....... :D

and then just the other day coming out of the doctors one of our local councilers decided to reverse into vitrualy the same spot..........bummer! he he

Other things.

Well a few days after i returned from cornwall it was my birthday and my mum very kindly made a cake with my car on (although you can tell its been a few years since shes done this inda thing :D) but still think it looks great.
and as mention in the accidents bit i had my 1st show at the notts classic car and bike show. great day and thank you to Claire, Nigal and everyone else who made me feel very welcome :)
i even managed to take an arty farty picture.......
and on the 7th Jan 07 it was the Notts area new year run which again was a great day out, weather stayed ok for most of the day, lovly meal in the middle and my car got utterly filthy, great stuff :D i do have a pic of me going through the ford but unfortunately they just missed the big splash (i think i went a tad fast through it :D) but you can see how ripped up the water is behind me :D

Things iv done on the car to a date....

for the 1st few months i didnt really touch it, just ran it how it was, aprt from playing with timing etc. but had a little spurt recently. 1st off it was installing a new '123 ignition system', since fitting it iv noticed a dramatic change in the engines running and im sure it will give better proformance once I've changed the advance curve, i thoroughly recomend them! i dont think it will be long before these replace the original dizzys, wear is minimal and bosch rotor arms and dizzy caps are the replacements so no trouble with rubbish reproduced rubbish!

2nd off i had some custom mx5 seats made up. i think they have turned out great! no matter what any one said about the colours :D they include 2 5" speakers in each head rest yet to be connected though.

and JUST the other day i picked up a set of 5 14" 5 SPOKE REVOLUTIONS!!! 1 of only 2 sets known to exist, and they just happened to be 2 junction up the M1 and yellow..... and they look great on the car. only a test fit as it has some tyres on i saving for a tack day coming up so looks about high thanks to the old wheel tuck under when jacked up.

Lets start at who i am! well, my names Jon Ellis or Jony as people call me. im 18 and i have a inca yellow spit6 PI

This is my 2nd triumph which i bought easter 2006 as a birthday present to myself :D travelled 300 miles down to cornwall to fetch it and was worth it!! It has GT6 running gear with a calaforian body tub on it, and a lucas PI system fitted to the engine. i was told after i purchased that it has a stage 3 engine but wether that is true or not is another matter and what he means by 'stage 3' could be anything. im yet to explore the car over to see what has actualy been done. It is my daily driver and certainly makes going to work fun :D and will overtake a line of cars in a flash! great stuff.

My 1st car was a 1300 mk4 spitfire which i owned from december to march ish, after hearing a 6 pot roar past on the way to stoneliegh i just said to myself 'I have to get me onea those!!' and so i did :D

So, where do i start? well.....
