Fighting back

Took the plunge and even though the weather was not perfect I got a car out.

 
 A short fan heater boost to the general temperature of the Caterham and we were off. Good drive too - no gloves needed as it was quite warm - and spirited run around the block followed. Noise is still excellent and the moderate heat from the engine keeps the chills off.
 
I'm still yet to change the plugs this year since the spec was changed to a more 'cruising speed -friendly' type.
 
Also got the Mk2 out again - it's filthy inside and out though. Perhaps I can convince the owner to clean it. Run to the far dump for recycling trip gave it a good run.
 
Boot-lid does not stay up though - which is annoying - and one of the clips if broken off. Oh and the headlining is still falling off. And the paintwork needs attention. And it's losing water too. Oh and it does not seem to warm up properly.
 
Goes nicely though !
