Just one Job - and Not Again !

I decided to get the Imp into the external bubble before the cold and wet comes at the end of the week. 

While it was warming up I checked the Alpine tyre. Yep - a slow puncture on the rear offside tyre. I left it a few pounds over inflated. 

I also unpacked the Alpine boot which I’d forgotten to do. 

I tried to move the Imp to clean under it and found it would not move - but why ? Some fool had left the handbrake on.  So car out and floor swept and car back in. Putting the top cover on I spotted I’d got it upside down. Oh well do it again. 

In the end it was all packed away and ready for the Winter by 11:30. 

So pm I thought I’d cheer myself up and take the Ferrari around the block so I put the fan heater on it for an hour or so. Oh no. 

It was not happy idling when I got it out of the garage, popping and banging on the run to start with and then just went back to feeling like it was not running cleanly on all 8 cylinders - just like last time. 

Oh Shit.

Finally SAAB to Harkstead. Dull but reliable.
