This afternoon I tried to pump up the Tyres on the Alfa 156, I went to remove the metal valve caps but managed to twist the core out of it. So once again the garage is blocked.

FOD territory has been achieved. Should be a good weekend 👍

You came a day early? Eager bastard you.

What's the weather set to be like?

I came up a day ahead in case it broke down, so that I could get recovered and bring a different car the following day! 

Didn't need to worry, it didn't skip a beat all the way up here despite being slower than an over-50s coach holiday. 

Weather looks like some rain Saturday morning but clearing up by midday and then cloudy for the remainder of the day. You coming up?

Weather forecast is now dry and warm Saturday with sunshine late afternoon.

Rain overnight clearing during Sunday morning.

Jubilee Day was a success and after 2+ years of hibernation for many of my cars I managed to turn out 5 cars that drove to the display and home again. All thanks is this forum who without all the help I received it would have not been possible, Thanks all involved.  

I believe there were 38 cars at the display so 5/38 means I turned out 13.2% of the cars there!

Promising weather !!  @Snake Charmer and me planning to visit. Traffic reports seem ok too, but there seems to be some A41 road works.

Splendid. I'll be there around noon.

You've got a cracking car collection. Right now though, your MG Metro is definitely winning for me! I last drove one in around 1994 and as a car-mad nineteen year old my memories remain very positive. The only negative was traction was always a bit sketchy when flooring it although that may have just been poor quality tyres. 

They've aged so well, regardless.

Just had a brunch. Packing the car with shit, including a camping stove, cup and teapot; Citroen car jack; my wheel trims; paint and a few tools and camping gear.
