Wow, that’s longer than I like to remember, didn’t we meet up at Didcot Maccy D’s. Or was it the Little Chef further up? Wales is the plan. :)

Thanks chaps. Paint finish had suffered a bit from contact inside “the bag” but a quick(not the right word that) glaze brought it back a little. I already cant wait to get it back.

And off to AW she goes.

Car is off on Wednesday. As commented on, looks in perfect condition but suspect the bill will be painful. Fortunately (or not) the wife component is not a factor :)

She is a little like me, looks okay on the outside, feeling a bit old under the skin. Full service, all fluids, bushes and bearings. Stuff taken off and powder coated. It all escalates pretty quickly “ If you going to do that you may as well do that as well etc etc” ☺️
