My car has been idle of late. Had to move it from its storage place in my mother's garage, sadly my mother passed away just before Christmas, completely out of the blue.
It makes you realise what is important in life. Collecting my car from the house was sad and a few tears were shed....I can still see her in my mind watching me reverse in with a smile on her face. I keep my cars very private (locally) and my mum always enjoyed seeing them or having the Alfa tucked away in her garage.
On the night I collected the car from her house, the weather was mild and I used the Carrera to collect a curry from town. It seemed the right thing to do with the car having sat for a few months, it was nice to get back in and enjoy the sound and feel of the car. The drive home was aggressive and fast (hot curry and the way I felt), I found myself grinning from ear to ear loving the car and thinking of my mum. I loved every minute of the drive.
More recently it has taken up residence in my local detailer's unit. He is happy to have it, work on it and store it for the remainder fo the winter. Works well for both of us.
Some pictures he has sent over recently, the car is coming up really well.
I took the opportunity to clean the inside of the glass on the lenses.
Clean and treated inside now.
Will post more when he finishes the work.
