That car is just determined to put up a fight isn't it!

I should sell it really because of the £360 road tax.

For the second time this week against his own rules @Slowsilver came to help me with my cars today.

First we got the Daimler Sovereign S1 out of storage, I said it would drive straight out of storage. It seemed I lied as we had to move the Mazda 323 first. It started easily after a scare when the fuel pump did not kick on first time turning on the ignition. Tyre pressures checked, oil took 1 Litre to get it from min to max and a pint of antifreeze coolant.

Next was the Mini Mayfair preparing the Mini for Sunday morning. We added fuel, checked tyre pressures and cleaned the windows.

The plan is to go to a Milton Keynes classic car meeting at there new venue 5:30pm Friday evening with the Daimler. 

Brewery Tap House, 17 Twizel Close, Stonebridge, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom

Saturday morning I plan to join MK Modern Classics again with the Daimler at there usual Breakfast meet 9:30am at the Rose and crown Ridgemont.

Sunday 9:30am the plan is to take the Mini Mayfair to Milton Keynes Mini meet at Mursley Farm shop. (Classic Mini and Bini)

The MK groups are non brand specific. I am sure the Mini group will welcome anybody with a bit of Mini interest if anybody wants to meet up.

im quite tempted to gate crash this with REV and see how many people think Im @Zelandeth :mrgreen: but I think I'd be pushing time too much (I still need to fit the head lamp relay kit to REV before i'd be comfortable driving about after dark outside the city, as I dont trust the wiring not to melt otherwise, the voltage drop when I turn the head lamps on currently is quite considerable... down to about 9.5V-10V last I checked) but maybe if @Mrs6C put on a fake moustache she  could too play the part with Her Model 70? :mrgreen:

Interesting choice of venue for a car meet up, assuming it's the same as the rest of the units up there (we get some dog stuff from one just along the road) they really don't exactly have a lot of parking available.

Another successful trip out for the Series 1 Sovereign today.
