It felt like Spring - so we Sprung a few

Heated up the E-Type for three hours in the morning to really warm it though. Then ended up taking the Alpine out first to put a few more miles on it. Through road works on all roads too.

So off to Pond Cottages to move bins and check we've not left any lights on. I keep saying it but it must be getting close to the last time I have to reverse up that drive.

Then I started the E-type - I say 'Start' - 'Start you Bastard' more like it - it took several mins churning over to catch but fired eventually - sounded like lack of fuel. I did look to put some easy start in the air intakes but they are closed off ...

Anyway I let it warm while I did other jobs and then off we went.

First call was #9 to drop stuff off - much to the delight of two of the builders who came for a look and a long chat. Then off for petrol - it did miss a couple of times driving round but went well when I could give it some road to stretch its legs. Hopefully just stale fuel. It had dropped a bit of oil over Winter but the level was fine when I check it.

So as the sun was still out I thought the 308 deserved a run out after missing it earlier on in the week. Fired up with no dramas from cold although it was hesitant to idle until it had warmed through. Good run though and picture opp.

Then Alpine out again for more fuel and more miles - so we're up to 484 - time to book it in.

Finally checked the SAAB which has lost a bit of water on the 36 mile run to the dump and back - but we'll get it to the garage ok.
