Well I went to the garage today to find another red car had been parked there :shock: Took me a few minutes to figure out which one was Sammy :lol:

Took him for a quick spin, it's my first drive of 2012 & of course it made me :D SMILE!

We're off to the Coventry area centre meeting tonight Imp009 blow the cobwebs off him!

Right Ive treated Sammy to a set of these but rather than the drill on set they are the fix on set

Anyone else have a set of these? If so, where have you secured them to? I have seen one set on the quarter glass section.

Ideas? Imp009

They just fit about an inch back from the pivot point of the quarter light. Just don't go mad with the tightening of the grub screws and the little plastic gasket. I never use the quarter lights, so not being able to use them is fine for me...

Sorry I haven't sent you a photo, I haven't been down the other garage as the weather took me by surprise yesterday...

Here's a photo isolated from a full shot. Not brilliant but you can make it out. If you get stuck, bring it over and I'll do them for you...

Sammy had a wash today and we went for a refuel and spin around the local area. First of all at the petrol station a young lad came up and said "I love your car, it's a beauty".

When I stopped at Aston Hall someone asked me if I wanted to sell him :shock: I had various other people wave & smile at him :D

Imp009 He's great

Took Sammy to the Northants Imp meeting yesterday. 149 miles in all we covered and he didn't miss a beat.

Whilst out on our travels he made an American friend - I parked up next to this beast and was amazed at really how tiny the Imp looked :lol:

Happy days Imp009

Can't believe I last updated this in 2013 :oops: Time flies......

Well since then Sammy has been in a couple of publications, a part in a "spoof" Hammer Horror film, and has been all over the UK - Well Ecosse, Wicked Welsh and National/s. He came first in the Singer category at Ecosse 2015 and 3rd in the Chamois category at National in 2015 - Thank you to all who voted for us :D Imp009 The close of the "amazing" year, was being asked for the car on the stand at the NEC Classic Car Show - which was a fantastic ending to what had been, for Sammy and I, our best ever year.

See you all at Hatton
