Morning, all. Had a good day of Le Mans prep yesterday. Jacked up, wheels thoroughly cleaned and tyres dressed (CarPro Perl is great stuff), wheel arch vents re-fitted, valves oiled.

Today, some work this morning and then delivering a shedload of shite to the last nestling, now fled to the big city.

Morning all, today I am changing a clutch in Christine’s Hyundai i10 for her and fitting a replacement under tray as the last one blew off on the A1.

We are a busy lot here aren’t we. Safe travels to those that are.

Have fun all…

Would love to meet up... but you're driving to the south of France instead. Well, fine. Be like that. See if we care. We have loads of other mates anyway. So, yeah.
Will see what we can do.
Mother still in a nursing home with a broken arm and shoulder injury.
Step father in hospital since Wednesday with an infection not sure what.
My twin brother went around to there's to get him some bits and pieces found the fridge in a mess with stuff 3 months out of date.
On a plus now down at the Mediterranean and not one pothole along the way.

Well the clutch change went well and we finished about 7 pm a little exhausted. She is heading home after a family BBQ so won’t be there till gone midnight.

Christine actually did most of it, as a bit of a learning exercise for her. She is such a good engineer and despite the painted nails is not afraid to get stuck in, at one point, she was on the end of an 8’ bar, prying the bottom ball joint apart!

Well done Christine. Great to see a new generation making an effort to fix cars.

Morning all. Stroll into town I think and then a trifle and some jam to be made and some big planters to be done. I hope.

Have a good one, all

Good Morning everyone from the South of France and probably 20 years since last down here as I was in a E34 BMW then.
Jaguar ran faultlessly.
Chill out for the weekend and drive back Monday it's a big Country.
Stay Safe all.

Morning all, got all three grandkids here o’night so a noisy house already. Taking them all to a Zoo/farm experience this morning and I’m diving off about midday to join a ‘sail past’ in Burnham as all of the clubs have teamed up to make a floatilla for the Jubilee at 13.00.

Have fun all…

And good on you for teaching her!

Morning, all. A little dusty this morning on account of an exuberant evening at the fantastic Copper & Ink in Blackheath. A good breakfast is now needed to remedy any lingering after-effects.

Long weekends are the mutt's nuts.
