Taking turns

So the first task was to put the fan heater on the E-type for an hour or so in preparation for the startup. I did notice quite a patch of water under the car so I'll have to investigate that.


Next job was to spring the Ferrari and set the tyre pressures back to normal. I hesitated as it looked like it was raining - but it was the pollen from the Yew trees falling like snow. I backed the car out and within seconds it was peppered with white flecks.

I moved it to the front of the drive and got to work. By the time I had done the tyres I had also decided to take bubble down. By the time that was packed away about 40 minutes later it looked like this.


Next was firing up the E-type - which it did after a long churn - obviously lacking fuel after the storage period - but that warmed up quickly.


Next was a run to the boat [to deliver the hose] via Harkstead for jobs and packing in some leftover kitchen. 


Back home I cleaned the Ferrari windscreen and set off for a blast - quite a long one as it turned out. To start with the clutch pedal seemed to squeak - but it quickly went away. Odd.


The fast run got rid of most of the pollen too - not that you can tell it's dirty here - but spot that great parking. Filled with fuel on the way back too.

Then I had time for another SAAB jaunt to collect the rest of the old kitchen ahead of another dump run. Finally a night time taxi job to take Oli to pick up his car.
