Wash and polish at like 7am, before it got too hot and melted everything. Oddly felt like I was about to go on the l2b event like the old days! Ran well with no issues.

Too hot to work on cars. I went out for a drive in my 1968 Sunbeam Alpine with the roof down - wonderful!

Finally got round to working on the car after spending a few weekends in Devon, fitted the steering column and the T7 heater, left the indicator stalk on the left hand side just to hack off the rivet counters, had my first snap off when the throttle cable ferrule attached to the body came away, no biggy as I'll knock a new one up on my lathe.

Changed brake pads after someone told me my brakes were terrible - hard, dead pedal. Night and day! Bites and stops! Replaced what were ‘semi- metallic’ with AP standard.

Fitted a replacement clubman front fresh air intake kit available on the Bay item no 147427292768. Very impressed with the quality and all fitted very easily and a very robust bit of kit including clips and flexible piping and very good seals.

I had the nearside missing when I got my clubman, took me a year to find one

Adjusted the rear brakes and checked for play in the wheel bearings. Finally fitted the bolt on bits speaker pods I bought off Bobbins two and a half years ago

engine out after it ate itself on the elan valley run.

Engine in and most of the plumbing done, just the fluids to bleed, exhaust to put on and suspension to pump up and it should be good to go.

Not today, but took it out the garage yesterday for the first time in over a month down some country roads. Ran good.

Had a coffee and cars meet at work for staff to show off their 'interesting' cars, so took the mini.
