It’s been all go on the car front for the last couple of weeks. John and Richard have made a lot of progress with Brenda the mini. The mechanical work around the engine is now finished and John drove her out of the shed.
Before putting her back into her slot in the corner of the yard John offered up the replacement wing and front panel to check the fit which looked pretty good to me – but then just about anything looks a good fit from a landrover perspective.
Since John can’t work on the mini over Christmas we decided to move my short wheelbase soft top landrover into the shed. She (we call her Georgina) has worked hard for the last couple of years on the commons and I decided to reward her with a new set of parabolic springs and gas shocks before putting here in for the MOT.
Luckily, Vickie the range rover passed her test on the second attempt (after some frantic work on the emissions and the rear seat belts) just in the nick of time with the current big freeze, though paying for the road tax was almost as big a shock as filling the tank with petrol!
