Mrs B is making scrubs and masks for key workers in Northamptonshire. She is working with an army of donators and makers. The current top order is 400 scrubs for a cov19 centre. I was tasked with picking up some material and dropping it to a maker. Good excuse to get the 356 out and check out the new carbs. It ran very nicely.ImageImageImage

Just finished the Skoda Superb.
60K Miles but looked after, waxed once every year..
Good normal wash this morning and into the cleared out garage.
Clay bared the whole thing, unbelievable dirt came off into the clay using the supplied lubricant which smelt like Autoglym tar remover.
The finish was tupelo glass like, amazing, never used it before ever.
Autoglym resin wax on top, what a shine!

Boxster next.

When the car was in the air for its MOT I noticed a 'fling of thick oily residue around the starter motor region. Yesterday (with help) I Removed the Driveshafts from the Gearbox Flanges. Re-Packed them both with new grease fitted new gaskets and replaced all the bolts.
Took it for a Thrash from the workshop back home.
