Dr Dukes everything is for sale at the right price.

Now Katie was built to be thrashed, and as such she becomes a high maintenance bird, unlike you women who require lots of hand bags, shoes and cuddles, Katie just requires the odd part being replaced, the odd wash and a little tinkering lol.

DOn't worry I have decided tomorrow afternoon wel maybe Wednesday will be dedicated to Katie

Now how is that little clubby feller of yours comming along? is he almost done yet?

Mr Kirk, your incessant misogynism never ceases to astound me. It's like thousands of tiny little Bernard Mannings hanging by their teeth from my ovaries.
Now quit yer yappin' & get Katie fixed up & back on the road.






Tommy the clubby is nowhere near done......

A certain someone* on here has been beavering away & has given me a sneaky-peeky at Matilda's pressie:




Shhhh....don't tell her. It's a surprise.

A MASSIVE thank you to Chris at Retro Retrims (bert998) for putting in so much effort to get Matilda's bootliner just perfect. I am far more than pleased with the result. The colour match with her interior is spot on, as is the piping. I love it & honestly didn't expect it to look this good (sorry... ).











Thanks Chris!



(I will only be using her map pocket when I know where we are going.... )

I love it & honestly didn't expect it to look this good (sorry... ).

I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or not

It is Matilda's MOT tomorrow. I can't quite believe that a year has gone by so quickly, but there you go, life's like that.

What do I need to check before she goes in for her poking?

Fluids are all fine, lights & other electrics appear to be all fine, she drives, she accelerates, she stops.

Last year she failed on brake effort at the rear. At the moment, she brakes fast & hard in a straight line in the dry. In the wet, however, she's all over the place, and desperately wants to be several lanes to the right, even if there aren't any lanes for her to be in.

I think she'll plobly fail again, but it would be good to check anything that can be quickly sorted to prevent raising the hackles of the tester. Any ideas, please?

Come over to my fellas garage Juju, he'll pass her, unless she reali is dangerous. Shes beautiful, I love my Minx but shes almost on par in my eyes

[Juju]

Thanks Minxy!

She's not dangerous, and she's off to a mini-friendly garage, so dat's fine. Just wondered if there's anything else I need to do before she goes in?

Have a wee look for rust underneath.
Any excess of oil on the sump and driveshaft.
Rust in the boot around the suspension.
Any excess movement around the hubs (but it will need to be on a ramp to check this properly)
And finally, have a quick peak at the brakes. eg pads and discs.
