Nothing like the 1st drive of the year......  Got any photos of your 250 Cup ?

Only these from picking it up yesterday

That is nice.

Managed my first run out on Saturday.

 

Still a bit slippy as the roads never really fully dried out but blew off some cobwebs!

 

Much more confident with the new rubber fitted though!

Very nice...... Congratulations

Just for you Andy

Lovely, I'm guessing your favourite colour's orange, I may be wrong ;-)

nothing spectacular, but haven't driven it since Dec 11th. Had to uncover and start lotey up last night ready for today as other half's water pump packed up and she wanted my car this morning. First time for ages I have arrived at worked with a smile from ear to ear.

Dec 11th eh Neil.....mine hasn't been out since early September thanks to my broken wrist....!

 

MOT next month though (Alex - need to chat....) so not long now.

Quick update on my rather unplanned but epic first drive this year!

 

Had one of those calls last Sunday that anybody with a car in storage 470miles away does not want to receive "We have mice in the garage"! One way flight booked Sunday - Monday thinking about potential damage - fly Tuesday - mind wondering in the taxi from BHX!! Car checked, no damage just nibbled garage items & Pooh!!

 

Up 4am the following morning so to hit the key traffic points at the best possible times, then drive & drive & drive.

 

After ice first thing, heavy rain at Stoke, sun at Carlisle, lying snow & freezing fog at -6 near Dalwhinnie, then blazing sunshine at Inverness, I was still grinning & thinking while nearing home at mile 468 on my AO48s(!) what fantastic cars these are whatever the road or weather...

Hmmm yes!

The big clean up is also an extensive panel off observation as well, no pest infiltration has been observed to date.

 

What this unplanned premature trip has scuppered is my Spring Gav booking for service etc!

What the ***k am I going to do now without him!!

[AlanS1]

That was a close call. 

 

At least it has prompted you to get out, have a great drive all the way home and realise why you decided to keep it .

Had planned to do Shelsley Walsh breakfast club on Sunday but it pee'd down so mine stayed in the garage and I was in a bad mood all day????☹️????

Just had MOT done too and only showed 1500miles in last twelve months!!????
