Who like me is lining up all the jobs on the car now the decent weather is on its way. Seems a long way away given i am being blown to kingdom come right now..but March always brings a list of things to do come the lighter nights and warmer days!!!

Here’s my list:

• Drive it
• Drive it
• Drive it
• Wash it (maybe)
• Drive it some more

Can’t wait to get stuck in to that lot.

I'm looking forward to blowing the cob webs off of Speedy.

I'm planning a long list of jobs on the '44 but I suspect some of them will end up on the back burner due to other commitments unfortunately

Well it went like this

1. refurbished 3 of the wheels over the winter

2. new rubber on the front

3. new windscreen wipers

4. new MOT

5. off the SORN with donation to Gordon and Alistair (bless their cotton socks)

6. cleaned and conditioned leather and cleaned rest of interior

7. quick wash, dry, paint cleaner and clay plus polish and waxing

All done for now and cream crackered

8. full geometry and corner weighting next month

Oh!

9 + 10. A/C needs regassing and a 48K service required by July
Big Money Muncher

Mine is at last booked in for the front end on the 31st. Theres a panal to replace on the drivers seat. Got to pull the clocks out again. Then it's the sunroof. Hubs to repaint. Carpet clean/replace. Back on the rollers to map the maxtronic. Wonder if I will ever get to fix the rear hatch release

i'm with you on this list, altho have got a service next month

Me too, except I am not too sure about the wash it bit

x2..

off to the Yorkshire moors this weekend with a group of 20 motors, really looking forward to it.. if the weathers any good

It's a lovely part of the world up there, rain or shine. Have a great time Gary

I'm looking forward to my brief trip North later today, when I get to Tinsley Viaduct I know I'm home.

We seem to have missed most of the bad weather so far

Have a great trip over the moors

Went to work in the '44 today. Had already missed the train anyway. Rain has washed the salt off the roads for now. And the discs were going rusty & needed a good clean. Went home the scenic route. Caught up a guy from work who drives a 2 litre zetec focus. It was sad really. He was trying HARD. Went past him like he was standing still. Clutch is fine. Discs all nice & shiney:D

Joking aside, I do have a list of upcoming tasks on my Turbo:

• replace split driveshaft gaiter
• replace one blown LED in dash lighting
• get tiny oil leak sorted
• have four-wheel geometry professionally done
• swap spring sets in adjustable wastegate

I’m still swithering over whether or not to do the dashboard replacement, given that the new one I bought has a chip out of it.

And on my old Lux:

• either new rear tyres or a full set of all four wheels & tyres at once
• replace power steering fluid
• have noisy fan looked at
• run it in a bit to check for other problems
• get it through an MOT
• sell it

wow, what a day, rained all the way to and from the meeting, but clear skies on the run !!!
Excellent Blatt on the moors, the roads were pretty quiet for a Saturday..

Certainly worth a trip up to the area again.. perhaps drop in to meet siggy on the way home..
