There’s careworn, and there’s catching passing limbs in rusty metal.

Guess who came to save me! 

i should think so too! isn't it his job to keep them all fueled up for his lordship?!🤣

[Six-cylinder]

It's a collection.

Yes I know I said no more buying but I was encouraged to get this one!

Yes this is going to be a 3 egg journey.

[beko1987]

Are they for the radiator just in case? 

[Twiggy]

Good luck ! I hope it all goes well.

[Six-cylinder]

The journey is long enough to require the mpg of the ZX with tyre pressures checked and windows cleaned.

[juular]

A three pipe problem. This will be fun.

[Six-cylinder]

Just 10 miles to the first jam... 

Not the kind you can eat, either... 

[Six-cylinder]

Now moving but still slowly, stuck behind a lorry...

I can understand the tyre pressures affecting the economy but were the windows really so dirty that the weight of the dirt would have reduced the mpg? ☺️

Thanks for your hospitality @wuvvum and for the tour of your lovely car collection. That Volvo is magnificent!

 

[wuvvum]

Pleasure!  It was good to give the Volvo a run out, it'd been a while.  Thanks for lunch!

[Six-cylinder]

The MG TF drove faultlessly home so I went to a Classic car gathering in the evening.

It's a bit late, but here are a few photos from a recent FoD visit. The early morning sunlight catching the dumper in its warm glow...

And the Bedford recovery truck:

I noticed that the bed seems to be sagging a bit where the side beam has been cut away to slide the ramps in:

[Six-cylinder]

I woke up this morning to find a sunshine colour MG TF on the drive, so yesterday wasn't a dream!

Non car stuff this morning so I used the TF to enjoy driving to my errands.

This afternoon was more work for @Slowsilver as it was time to put some more cars into strorage. Then time to get the MG Metro out of storage ready for the BL day at Milton Keynes Museum Sunday.

Also on Sunday after 4:30pm is a general car gathering at the Barn Beefeater in Milton Keynes, I plan to take the Metro to after the BL show is finished.

[Six-cylinder]

Live FoD action this morning.
