Hi Brian, I got it done at Campbell's Garage in Marske. £35.

I was lucky enough to get it done straightaway, they are not as busy as usual.

It's made a great difference.

Well as the Great Alfredo had jumped up at the side of the ZT in excitement (and to my horror) when picking up Mrs MB from the hospital yesterday, I ended up with an old oily rag and some polish today, to remove the evidence of his claws.

You can imagine my utter disappointment having first spent an hour removing tar spots, then claying the entire car, after machine polishing the scratches out, followed by a couple of coats of polish........four hours of the day, when the car looks no different to when I started.

It does feel nicer, and it will look almost cared for when it rains, but oh what a non colour Starlight Primertallic is

Started the 75, and drove it to work. It’s been a while.....

Well not in today's rain but yesterday, stuck on a couple of 2 litre torpedoes and some chrome mirror caps. I want to break up the, well.......... greyness, of the ZTT. Think I'll change to chrome waist trim as well at some stage. No harm in a ZTT having just a touch of bling!

Oh, and a new MG badge on the tailgate.

In on my own to do some breakdown work and catch up on some outstanding stuff, back in tomorrow. I think there will be a phased return starting next week. We were effectively allowed to stay open but people not allowed to travel to us unless they were key workers. I was getting used to just chilling out, I’m absolute wrecked....
