Lots of clean runs

Washed the Mk2 first thing - as I might take it to the ECR meeting Friday night.Again a bit hesitant to start, but I think it needed a run.

So ran it round the block to dry off with lots of revs - goes well.

Then SAAB to town for jobs - and decided that needed a good wash as well.

I actually gave it three washes in the end I think - and cut back the bonnet (peppered with chips) and roof to get rid of the black spots. Came up quite well as the picture shows. Next will be a replacement ariel fin and refurbished wheels. Then I need to clean the inside and sort out the paintwork and rust.

Then Aston out for a run in the sun. Passed an early Marcos and a Rover SD1 in the traffic.

Then unexpectedly out again - this time to pick up some cargo from town. It's quite dirty so I cleaned the windows but it did not seem to buff out so they were terrible.

Anyway chap in the shop appreciated it - and was even surprised at the size of the boot.
