Woot woot. MOT-free motoring for a while. I'll stick a ticket back on it once I've got some more bits ticked off the to-do list and plan to make actual proper use of it. Eventually.

12 months test on the smart car , needed a spring and a washer pump 

You have to take quite a lot off to get to the top bolt on the suspension 

Springs look like they're off a go kart 20210731_130216.thumb.jpg.be26376e0cd1eefd8cdd9b1028fd16e9.jpg

There’s a classic car auction going on near mine tomorrow. A casual flick through of the website revealed this little gem, formerly of @DodgyBastard. It’s come a long way!

Good to be back in the UK. A nice Saturday morning rummage, unfortunately not what I wanted but still enjoyable.

Just been over to the darkside (Essex) to collect some tat.

An eBay pick'n'mix of Minor parts (and a random B series rocker box) for a measly £29.00.

And i spied a care worn pale blue HB Viva just outside Southend too.

Was it a 4 door? I think I've seen it before along with a gold Rolls.

That's the one! It appears to be slowly deteriorating with its outside storage but it's still nice to see it.

Went for tea in the Cheshire Cheese in Buxton last night.

Whilst quaffing a pleasant ale I spotted this absolute masterpiece on the wall next to me.

Round about all of them I believe. Hence the old saying 'you shouldn't have joined if you can't take a joke'.

On the trip down to Wales the shitbox managed a pleasing 42.3 mpg, and over nearly 1k miles just over 38.

Not so pleasing is the front suspension, which is making more noise than my neighbour's children. Probably my fault.

It still handles like a house fly, it just like making noises while doing so. It needs looking at. It better not be one of the dampers, or I'll be flying over to Japan and wedging it sideways up the arse of the man in charge of QA at Tein.
