Welcome to the site known worldwide as Evilution.

Yep, still here.

You may have noticed a slight change to the site. This started on the 25th of August. This is the 1st big change to the admin software in about 14 years so needless to say a lot of the pages of information aren’t formatted correctly. When the site was made all those years ago, screen resolutions were much lower, the screen width was a set width and there was no such thing as a iPhone (so no other phone makers had something to copy.

Now there are higher resolutions and a lot of different devices so I’m having to manually reformat all 1600 pages of information so they all look the same and up-to-date. It’s a lot of work. New fonts, new justifications and upscaled photos.

We are also battling with the new admin system. It’s so complicated, way more than we’ll ever need but that makes the learning curve incredibly steep. Not to mention the standard “issues with PayPal” that always seems to happen.

So, for the rest of the year, we will be adding new features and manipulating our back ends including adding annoying adverts for all of the tight-wads who don’t have a subscription. Then we’ll add the sales page so everyone can sell their smart parts and cars.

I want to thank everyone who has subscribed and I promise that new pages of information will be added soon.

I’m not dead. I haven’t run out of ideas. I haven’t abandoned the website. This isn’t FQ101.

I got myself another smart to play with so I’ve been taking a lot of photos but I just couldn’t get into the mindset to write the words. Being informative is easy but incredibly boring but being entertaining as well can be tricky if you are in the mood.

I’ve stopped enjoying my full time job of 19 years and it’s affecting me a bit.

It is amazing how a bit of warm weather helps you actually bother to go and play in the garage. It has been a while. I finally scrapped an old 451 diesel with a failed engine. It let me down about 4 years ago on the way to work and it sat a S2smarts for 4 years before I decided to get it back, find out what the fault was and then strip it for parts.

A parts sale area is being worked of for everyone to use. This will appear with the new site update.
