Progress - March 2026

March 1st

Our goal this month is to clear the decks of "odd jobs" so we can focus on completing the MX-5e build. The weather has been improving and our solar energy generation for March is going to be close to 1000kWh 🌞

March 17th

With the new F1 season kicking off Emma has been busy doing her thing, with a trip to Goodwood Race Circuit to drive Ferraris and some other nice cars on track.

Some really exciting news coming later this month but, it is going to involve Rob getting busy behind the camera!

March 19th

We also have to do a bit of maintenance work on Yoko. One of the rear brake discs appears to have warped ever so slightly, so these are being replaced and new braided hoses and pads fitted.

Replacement parts for these cars are incredibly cheap and this is exactly how we want it to be with the OSSEV 1.

March 31st

This was delivered to our house today. Lotus Cars have loaned Emma a Lotus Emira V6 SE in 'Purple Haze' metallic paint for two weeks 😎 It is gorgeous and sadly, Rob is not insured to drive it. 400bhp, 180mph top speed, 0 to 60mph in 4.3 seconds.

April 1st

We are all falling in love with this car, myself from the passenger seat. Not only is it stunningly good looking, it is also properly quick.
