Yes Mrs Noc's 75 is an auto, and I must be getting old as my next one will be too!

130 mile round trip to the Newark Autojumble. More bike stuff than car parts these days, so I only go once or twice a year. Wasn't looking for anything in particular, but spotted the bargain of the year - a drivers side cup holder in light oak. The guy didn't know what it came from (and I didn't enlighten him), and had it up for £10.00 - I bargained him down to £8.00. Hope it is easy to fit!

After over 3 years locked away in my garage since the last MOT,I decided to book the Launch car for a MOT,will be picked up tomorrow or Friday morning by the garage as I have no insurance,after checking it over for the basics found the headlight washer pump has packed up,unless I find a local supplier quickly tomorrow morning will have to take the one off my daily Moonstone diesel which thankfully also has headlight washers.Regards Ryszard...

Decided this afternoon to polish the Connie. Went outside and guess what...... it started to rain.Tried again later and managed to get it polished and ceramic sealed, apart from the roof and the bonnet. Will have to see if I have got time tomorrow,and the weather is ok.

Managed to finish waxing and polishing the roof and bonnet this morning. All sealed now with the ceramic coating. With this coating from Bilt Hamber,you only need to wash it, and if you wish, you can just use the ceramic coating, instead of waxing and polishing it again. Saves a lot of hassle and time.
