Walked the dogs this morning at 08:00 before it got too hot, cleaned the garage out (Great idea on a hot day) Trip to the dump with a few 75 parts that were taking up space. Walked the dogs this evening when the temp had dropped a little.

Not much today but yesterday I took it to Malvern. This missus had treated me to a Morgan factory tour for my birthday. Then went and saw The Eagles in Brum in the evening (passing a nice parked blue T reg 75 on the way in :¬)

Drove to the garage and filled it up, then went to the Metrocentre and bought myself some new gear..........I can't spend all of my life wearing jeans, polo shirts, and Doc Martens.

So I treated myself to something more colourful, and commensurate with my age, not my chronological one of course

I like em!
Possibly better suited to a ZT, but nice nonetheless.

Now, hang on a minute. Some of you guys are in the wrong thread here. You lot are bragging about doing stuff to your 75/ZT's.

I, on the other hand, did NOT fix my IPK that was too dark to see.

I took off my sunglasses and discovered it displayed perfectly - no lines, either!
