I collected S2 Sovereign from my favourite garage today. It has had light service, auto choke clean and a safety check as I don't MOT my 40+ year old cars.

Never mind...

I should really do something about the windscreen wipers.

Sorry, would like to come, but some things need attention at work. Have fun folks.

A close friend of mine died suddenly on Tuesday morning. I'll be spending much of FoD Saturday with her parents, who might want help dealing with her Estate.

Won't be attending FoD, sorry. Feeling quite raw.

Is this a regular thing?

Are you guys all camping somewhere together? 

Can you come in a modern car, I have modern diagnostic shenanigans I can bring to diagnose stuff with, whats it all about 😃

I don't trust the Activa enough to take it anywhere far until I've put new brakes and spheres on it 😬

I may be along in the afternoon. 

The Audi is still on the ramp in the garage, it's going to run over until the morning at this rate, when it's going to be put back together. The tie rod end put up a fight and needed 'encouragement' to get off.

Bummed that I couldn't go this time. Hopefully next time I won't need to be going up and down the country over the weekend.
