Springing the Fleet #1 - but we're trapped in on all sides

The weather was good, sun even out if still very windy so I decided to warm the Ferrari up and get it started.

Usual fan heater for an hour and then I thought I'd just turn it over a few times to circulate the oil. The starter motor had other ideas though and span for quite a while - even with the ignition off ...

Anyway it stared fine so I left it warming up spitting water for a bit before turning it off.

Then the planned Alpine run to Felixstow was scuppered because the tide had flooded the Strand. That together with the Stutton road being closed and the tree down near us with the road blocked (open/closed/open depending on the locals moving the barriers) meant the village was being cut off. So we just went to Woolverstone and found somewhere to park avoiding possible falling branches.


Then after a walk I decided to take the bubble down - that is always hard work but it only took 40 mins. 


Car looking good too, so I reduced the tyre pressures for a run - but with the road blocks, late afternoon traffic and darkening skies I decided against it.

ION: Russia has moved troops into disputed areas of Ukraine - so Covid is receding and a war in Europe is looming.
