Turning to the Troubled Talbot

Another day - another Bubble.

The Talbot was still hard to start this morning - including a a couple of those nasty sort of knocking failures but she got going in the end. I guess only heating up the very cold garage for an hour and a bit probably wasn't enough. However it looked splendid though once out in the daylight.

Starting on the bubble I spotted the same tags as the blue one had so was able to take some weight off it. The bubble went up ok (although it is filthy) but just took longer as I mixed up the curved and strait supports. Almost two hours before the car was in position.

I'd forgotten how long the car is so it needs to be almost touching the back wall to get it in. Moving it by had was not an option so I re-started it and used the engine. 

Then for a rest we went off to get the three Christmas trees. Here we are - already having dropped one off at Harkstead.

Then after lunch I finished off putting the car away and swapped the chargers around so I could put both the batteries on charge. I found I needed an extension lead for the second one though as the lead is not as long as the main ones. They are both on charge though and we'll see how we get on.

In then off to the boat (MK7 passenger time) to start clearing that out for the Winter lay up.

Even early afternoon the sun was setting but it was cold and bright. That done home again.

Finally a long SAAB run to the RGEA (via Glevering) to pick Chris up and then drop him back.

Rain forecast for the next few days so we'll probably stop there for a bit.
