Will your mate Mark be going along, too?

Not sure his new car will be done for then, would be nice though. You coming?

No idea at the moment.  I'll make a decision closer to the time..... doesn't look positive from here though!

Shame, would be a good day of golf natterings and tyre squeeling.

Might do mate. Funds are tight this year due to having to take a lower paid job though.

So thought after 4 months of sitting doing nothing I ought to fire it up. It seems I made a massive fail before winter and forgot to a) let the handbrake off and b) remove the battery. THe battery is now on charge but I don't have high hopes for it TBH.

It seems to have survived the winter in not too bad a shape considering it's been left at the side of the road. Paint's gone proper flat, I've got moss growing in the gutters and the window slider, the rust has advanced a bit further and the brakes look rusted to fook but it's dry inside and still full of oil and water. Hopefully get it up and running tomorrow if the weather isn't too bad. Then it'll need a hardcore clean up, some abuse to unlock the no doubt seized rear brakes and then some good old hooning to clear the rust off the discs.

Well the battery has been on charge and the readouts are not encouraging. Time to give it a go and see what happens! If not it's down to CAF to get a new one and some service bits.
