SOCIAL FIGSTANCING Thanks to Scottish Member Fiona Reid for this figgy clothing innovation.

Don't worry we're not in July just yet but being a Sunday we thought you may wish to read this today rather than in the week. 

We hope you are safe and well during these continued strange times? Lockdown has been a long slog that's for sure and so frustrating that almost every event we had planned (and then had to cancel) the weather was sunny, dry and warm. It all started with the Ace Cafe, two weeks later we were supposed to be meeting a number of members at Caffeine & Machine. By the time it got to the Cotswolds Weekend with unprecedented sunshine I decided I wouldn't remind Sue again of another missed event so kept mum!  

Anyway onto more positive thoughts and as the saying goes, ' time flies when you're enjoying yourself '. Although most of the world has been on hold, strangely here at the club we have been busier than ever. We put this down to members either working more from home or being furloughed and having more time to carry out all those growing Figaro jobs. Either way we are more than happy to help by providing help and advice and creating yet more videos. I too have been tinkered away on our Figaro Belle in my man cave (well really keeping out the way of Sue). I made some nice additions to the engine bay like painting the handle of the engine and gearbox dipsticks bright yellow. For once I can actually see the gearbox dipstick knob lurking down in the depths of the engine. See the Ownership Restoration article below.

This publication includes a number of translations such as the Model Codes, Roof Closing Instructions ,  Breakdown Flare, Fuse Box and lastly the Price List published by Nissan and issued to the dealers back in 1991. It's hard to believe but it shows that the car was actually sold without the CD player as this was an option along with the air conditioning. And we know this was the case as one owner based in Japan brought her car the returned two weeks later to the dealer after deciding she wanted the CD Player after all. With the help Japanese Member Yuki Saga we are now working are way through the Accessories Price List which we will bring to you next month.

After months in my 'pending file' we finally received permission from the BBC to publish the Doctor Who story. This was a great opportunity for one of our members to help which was snapped up by member Ian Williams late last year. Ian did a fantastic job for the club by turning out in some questionable weather to help re-create some of the iconic imagery from the series.

Sad news of the passing of Joyce Richardson after a short illness. Joyce loved attending our rallies along with husband Ken Richardson and we are so blessed to have been part of their lives even if it was a small part and created some lovely memories for them both.   

A personal invitation from me to attend the largest Figaro party on earth

We know it's not until June 26/27th next year but felt after such a rubbish year for events we all needed something to look forward too! Last week I created a short video outlining my hopes for the weekend. Register your Figaro today Click here
