I mistakenly thought it was on Saturday.
I'll try to get there but can't guarantee Mo will be ready in time. Quite a bit of work to do and looks like a lot of rain in the forecast for this week. I'll try tho. I'm aiming for Lakeland

Likewise, l gave mine a nice wash & polish on Saturday. We're leaving Friday morning to collect my OEM top box & bikerack from Brum en route to Stratford, our base for the weekend. I'll find a convenient hand wash yard to give a final once-over on the car before the shows.

Not going to have the time or weather to do all the prep I'd like but looking forward to seeing whoever makes it on Saturday.
Family stuff on Sunday so I'll have to make the most of Saturday. Have a safe journey all. Andy. |

Took the front off side wheel off this morning to spruce up the wheel arch and clean the wheel back. Didn't really need doing, but with Roverfest coming up, I want her to look her best. cleaned everything up and gave the tyre sidewall a good clean, finishing off with some tyre dressing. Nice. Decided to leave the other wheel 'till a nicer day so started to pack everything away. PIcked up the trolley jack, carried it through the side door of the car port. The door swung shut behind me, hit the back of the trolley jack, and knocked it into the front wing of my Baby. Net result: big chunk of paint taken out of the front wing. It looks awful. Really, really wish I had left it 'till Friday as I had planned. Cliff

As it happens, the car is booked into a bodyshop in a weeks time to fix a couple of longstanding stone chips, so it just means the bill will be somewhat higher than I was originally expecting. Just kicking myself that I wasn't more careful carrying the trolley jack past the car. Oh well, lesson learned I suppose. Cliff
