...and flew through the MOT. Quite a milestone for me and I even managed to dodge the rain with the roof off.
Just wish I'd taken my camera for posterity

Was just about to reply to your PM, I'll do it here instead. Well done James! How did it feel having it back on the road? Did I understand right, you're taking the car to CLM?

Pics please James!

Yes, still planning to drive to CLM via south of France

I've been driving it up and down the road adjusting the linkage as I'd lost 4th + 5th. I adjusted a bit too far but pulled away in 3rd no problem, then at the end of the road It got stuck in 5th....but pulled away in that too

I'd forgotten how practical these cars are -I can fit my Taj Mahal tent in the rear boot fine under the roof no problem
I meant to ask my missus to video me driving by but I ran out of light. Bit late for Stanford Hall 3 years ago though Adam.

Looking good James, can't wait to see you out in it.

914 International is in Germany next year, in May, I expect you to be there!

A little closer to home, fancy the retro car show at the pod next weekend?

Car looks great... look forward to seeing it for real at a show sometime. Can't wait to get mine finished and back on the road!
