End of a drive


... well the end of the drive waiting to go into the garage.

Sunny Alpine run.

Rain Early

Good choice - Rain in the morning

Monday, 28 June 2010

Sunny side up


Took a gleaming E to work.

Shopping Car


Large boot !

Pics to follow...

Cleaning and polishing Me E for the run to Le Mans.

Let there be light

OK no power to the right main beam so put a new wire in all the way.

A bit of a bodge basically but it's done and safe.

Now for the test drive in the hot sun.

Humour from slightly odd man who staggered past the car and marvelled over it - then asked to touch it - made his day.

Plant Nation


Now hemmed in by plants on the drive - Alpine running fine. E-Type work tomorrow.

Reflections


Sun off the dials in the morning. Warm enough to be driving with no coat. Sun glasses.

Ah and English Summer starts.

S-U-N


Like it says on the boot. Shining all day and a drive home in the warm air.

Sweden Again

So SAAB still rescued by odd Dutch sports car maker - also ex-aircraft manufacturer.

What will come next ? 99, 900, 92, 9000, 95 - not many numbers left - what do they signify ?

Lots of commuting and nice Porsche at the station.

Alpine tomorrow.

Red lights


SAAB action to station.

Parked next to a big black cockroach (well BMW). Nice Porsche in the City.

Run back was sunny and deserved a sports car.

Tin Time


Wiz in 308 to mums. Nice drive, passed old blue car (Talbot ?), a US monster and buzzed by bright yellow Lotus Elise.

80 miles - rattle on that door again now. Oil level good.

Saturday, 19 June 2010

Showers all day

B&Q and trusty SAAB

Double Dipping


Took Alpine in - under the grey clouds.

Popped at home and swapped over to the SAAB as the rain started to spit.

Then nothing.

MG in the Dark


Or at least I think it was - a red TC or TD I would guess. Station run in the SAAB. Alpine tomorrow I hope weather permitting.

Me E needs a run over the new grass at the weekend and the Tin.

Sun after dull start


Sunny drive home in the Apline. Nice farty nose - steering quick odd still - just to responsive and the steering wheel needs tweaking round.

But having salf cancelling indicators is still a new experience !

Quick nip in

Nipped in to work in the Alpine. A bit breezy on the way home and black clouds looming. But it's supposed to be Summer they cried !

Even Ipswich Has Traffic Jams


Dull drive in as the rain was waiting in the sky and the road was blocked.

Sunday, 13 June 2010

Sailing not driving


SAAB nip to marina, rewarded by ice blue Austin Healey and the odd porker.

Saturday, 12 June 2010

No time left for cars

Highlight was red 1970's 911 taga leaving the bypasss.

Turf Wars


Now Boxed in behind all the turf on the drive - high hopes will get the drive back next week though.

Problem - no access to the garage other than over the new grass ....

Sneaking out between the showers

Nice evening and got out before the rain.

Tuesday, 8 June 2010

Plod Plod

SAAB again in the rain.

Monday, 7 June 2010

Working 9-5


Week of drizzle I think, after rain at the weekend. Just SAAB action.

Sunday, 6 June 2010

Sunday Storms

Rain - stopping any classic action this weekend.

Check the e-type and found the green wire to the green wire from the green wire to the reversing lights and disconnected it. So we have indicators etc. again but no blown fuses.

So a small job done.

In the sun - in the Alpine.

Bloody Birds


Why do they dive bomb the car at work ?

Tuesday, 1 June 2010

Rain and commuting again

Had to wash the SAAB yesterday as it was soooo dirty.

Sun tomorrow and Alpine fun ?
