Collected about an hour ago after 14 months in storage. Started easily enough and even had a wash and vacuum but not by my fair hand. Took on board a little fuel and drove home and parked in my almost complete garage. Almost got exciting driving the car. Almost. ImageImage

I haven’t got out of work yet, still trying to finalise the route for tomorrow whilst working 12 hour + days currently hence not been as active on here as I wanted to be. I may be winging the route a bit :lol:

Had an early start , crap drive down the nightmare excuse for a road that is the M1 followed by a busy slow drive down the fosse way . Driving down south is not my favourite pastime. On a positive note car is running well

Arrive at the hotel , had a walk around the nearby estate with my wife and about to have some beer and wine
