It’s been a while since I updated my own thread, so let’s bring it up to date :) Very little spannering, mainly driving which is how it should be :) Most of this pic heavy update has been posted elsewhere so look away if you don’t want to see another green overload!

Back out across the Peak District for another Uni Dad taxi job:

Winnats Pass

Then of course the highlight of the year and off to the Alps with my son and the DDK tribe :)

Traffic can be scenic at times!

So much of this I think it’s fair to say the system has been flushed through…

At the Baden Baden hotel. Tired but happy.

And onto the next day with a stop on our 670 miles in one day trip home…

And that was the end of the big road trips. A few little ones to come.

Short update!
Over enthusiastic use of salt by our local council stopped play in November, I wouldn’t normally be put off driving but after the hours I’ve got in the bodyshell of this thing I’m going to look after it a bit better this time.

Grabbed the last sunny afternoon before the salt to give it a thorough rinse and blow dry before parking it up over Xmas until last weekend.

Image

The first Cars & Coffee of the year had a great and varied turn out. Took the very long way home as it never ceases to make me smile this car. :)
Image

I didn’t join the Porsche parking :)

My friends 944 (came to CLM with us a few years back) with his newly rebuilt engine and immaculately painted shell with some bespoke body lines and rear end mods that are so subtle they look stock but really tidy it up.

Evening drive with some work cars making even Crewe look good in the sunset Image

Still need to do the winter jobs I’ve not done, new handbrake shoes etc and a service would be good!

There is a YouTube of last weekend.
The green Ford Pilot there is a favourite of mine.
Might take my 73T for a Sunday run if dry.
