Weather forecast is four days of soggyness & misery down South.
I wanted to put the new wheels on the gt, get the new battery & start decrustifying the engine. And Matilda needs a thorough valet. I can't do that in the rain because the vacuum cleaner will electrocute me.....

Ye saying that i just looked at the weather forcast for the weekend and i dont think i could hit the ball taht far in 80mph winds!! I also need to clean the mini. I have washed it once in three months just dont seem to get the time. KInside is always clean tho, cant stand an untidy car inside. And its white so it shows all the dirt outside!!

Could always stick the hoover in a black bag while hoovering. I have done some silly things with electrics outside

You're menkal!

I don't keep anything in matilda but road atlases....but somehow she still manages to get dusty-horrid... ....and get greasy mitt prints everywhere. I'm sure it's not me. It's the pixies.

I'll be working on someone else's mini... Huey's loom is getting there now and I ordered (I think) ALL of the remaining wires I need to finish it off!

Nooooo! Hoover's need cool air to keep the motor going! If you put it in a black bag it will over heat and blow up!


Toad needs a good clean and some little rusty spots sorting out (where Sy dropped his mountain bike on her a few weeks ago...tut tut)... But like you all say, I don't fancy doing it in a hurricane!!!!!

No real mini activity this weekend - other than rebuilding my clutch master cyl. Big push should be next weekend and over the easter hols - headlining/windscreens and a few niggly mechanical bits and hopefully I should then be close to MOT ready for spring!

As for this weekend I'm running the Silverstone Half Marathon so I'm hoping the weather will be reasonable......
