Never have been in love with it. Just fed up of all work no play so had the day off from doing stuff to the house. It does look good I suppose.

It's always a love and hate thing with these cars.

So, you don't use it much then?

Looks stunning Steve.

I don't use it that often, don't get the time + I won't take it out if it's wet.
Thanks for the comment.

I have used it once since Combe, I went to the Bristol RS meet last week. The car looks better in the pictures than real life lol.

Hi Steve, car is looking tidy in those pics. Certainly looks a bit different to when I last saw it. It's an ornament in the garage lol

Hope life is treating you well down there and all the family are well. Sounds like your keeping busy!

Cheers

Booked the car in for a MOT tomorrow @ 1400.
Just gave the car a quick check over.
Connected the battery and it only fired up first time. I didn't even have to charge the battery.
Checked lights, indicators, washer jets, wipers etc.
Everything works except the N/S fog light and N/S high beam.
Very pleased as it's not been used for 20 months.
Just found the last MOT, 03/08/16. The car has only done 110 miles since.
If it fails it's going straight back into the garage lol
Just needs a wash now to get rid of the barn find look, I'm sure that we de-value the car lol.

Well it passed.
Just a couple of things the tester said I could do, get the tracking checked and get a few fuel line / brake pipe clips as some are broken.
