Beautiful morning here today so managed a drive out and a coffee. Roads are quite muddy at the moment so a two hour drive turned into another hour washing and fettling when I got home. Worth it though :D

Was a nice run out James. Just struggling to get E5 locally so I carry a Jerry can in my daily car to make sure I can still enjoy a ride out.

Your car looks fantastic as always Derek. That night shot is amazing! Great to see you enjoying getting out and about.

Pete, you need a C body just for an occasional non race fix :D

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not…

:thumbright: looks good, was that the Waggon & Horses breakfast meet between Kidderminster and Hagley?
I'd thought about it but spent the day polishing the Charger instead :)

Yes Mate. Was gobsmacked, expected 10-20 cars at best for a cold January, apparently 120 turned up through the day. :shock:

Too early in the year for me, my cars are always in bits over the winter months.

Feeling very guilty about 3 months of neglect I actually started the old gal and took her for a run yesterday. Cured the 'thunking' (loose torque conv bolts - doh!) and she ran great.

Funny story - just coming off local bypass. Stopped at roundabout to my right was a police van just pulling onto roundabout. They stop, in front of me, blocking my entry and I think 'uh-oh'. Policelady in passenger seat gives me huge grin, policeman in drivers seat leans over gives me a huge 'thumbs up' and off they go. How cool is THAT ??? Love my car :)

Took her out for a spin today, cracking weather, mostly to test the new radiator. All grand.
