It's only Money

So went down to test drive the Imp - in the MK2 as the SAAB is 'hors de combat''. A good run that only took and hour and a half - even with getting a bit lost. Nice view when I arrived too.

The reason for the visit was parked up in the workshop though.

The head gasket was done, as was the cleaning out of the sump etc. The interesting finding was that the manifold was leaking on both carbs so it was drawing in air. 'Had I heard a whistling sound' Matt asked ... it only struck me later that comment from the Church run about a 'supercharger'...

Anyway I did a short test drive and it's fine - although the advance retard kept moving to the retard setting and sapping all the power which was disturbing. It will be fixed before it gets collected though. [I still don't like the headlight covers.]

Big bill was waiting for me too - now paid. 

Then back in the MK2 which seemed to be running even better - until the inevitable holdup on the A12.

Miles wise guess who won in October. The SAAB at just over 1000 miles - so I guess it deserves some TLC.
