I am supposed to be having a tidy up of my shed so I can access one at the back to take some photos. I keep finding excuses as I love* tidying so it is taking longer than expected, but yesterday a bit of progress was made. Went back in today and of course got distracted as a friend has been asking about my Rover P5b that has been slumbering and doing a fairly good impression of a shelf.
As I had access to the Cobra (parked at the end of October) I thought I would start it and move it so I had better access to the Rover. Took a bit of winding but once the fuel filled the carb burst into life quite happily so backed it out.

This gave me a clear(ish) look at the Rover

First job was to clear the stored* items off it

Air was added to the tyres and the jump start unit connected to the battery. This produced ignition lights but nothing else, and a quick calculation showed it was parked here in 2015! The battery is predictably dead, so I put my spare Saab battery on, just to see if it would turn over. This resulted in brighter lights and a ticking fuel pump which soon slowed despite the guage showing empty. For a laugh I pulled out the choke and turned they key, and after a few turns it fired. A couple of more  tries and it was running and running smoothly. I ran out of time so turned it off and put the Cobra (and Kubota) back in the shed. I am away this weekend but next week will pick up some fresh  petrol and see if it will move.
Forgot how nice Rovers of this period (this one is 1968) are and that Rovers were very much a premium car.

Got to be a BMW 323...

3 hrs each way for me. If I did it in the 107 that would show dedication to the cause I suppose.

It wasn't aimed at you, it's perfectly understandable to cancel events when the weather is grim. It was more of a dig at the invitation only clique events on here.

It was, I would have mentioned it on here but didn't want a bunch of cunts I hate turning up.

Another one from me. Saw a 4x4 pick up in McDonalds car park in Forfar with MOO 5TEW.  Must be either a butcher or farmer.
It would be nice to think he also had COO 5TEW.

Got loads of these, night shift and travelling at funny times of the day!
