Afternoon fellow esteemed BRM'ers 
So last night I had a moment here re the Bobber
brm-forum.org/thread/128/granada-coupe-continuous-build-improvement?page=2
I've owned her probably 8 years, lost the keys for 5, got a new ignition barrel a couple of years ago only to find she's wired exclusively in a fetching shade of red, put her to one side, once again 2 years just disappeared right like that - poof!
Anyway, found the keys in a carrier bag while clearing out some junk the other week (at least I can be sure I didn't mislay them - 'twas definitely the work of a tidying pixie!) & treated her to a fresh battery, fuel, & celebratory keyring
The right carb promptly p1ssed fuel all over the floor, so it was treated to a gentle tap with the nearest tapometer
Which to my surprise, delight, & mild chagrin, sorted it!!
Then, more in hope than expectation, we hit the button, and...
So we went for a ride
Lovely. 5 years of slumber and you'd never tell - torquey, fun, cool and very very charming
More soon
Cheers
Matt
