Unexpected Good News

Bright sunshine and even warm from the get-go. SAAB out first thing to the allotment with the new battery powered strimmer. That's what batteries are good for at the moment - not powering a car 500+ miles.


As I was working the phone buzzed a few times. It was Lee with news of the Alpine. It is painted !

But before I could go and see it we had an errand to do - Harkstead/Ipswich/Harkstead - so the SAAB was out and about again. Here we are - oddly parked outside the Fiat dealer.


Anyway after that I was going to pop down in the SAAB but thought  - it's a very warm day. Let's take the Seven. So I did.


Still a little pop and bang but it enjoyed the run. Anyway the star of the show was there.


It is very red. More so than before - I don't know.


Still along way to go - so I will come down and work on it in a couple of weeks time too.

Evening was RGEA meeting so I took the ... Caterham. As a reward for running so well. I don't think it will leave the fleet now. A bit lumpy on the way there - although better on the fast stretches.

Good turn out with two Tigers and John's older Sunbeam. Plus a stray Austin (Wolseley) Princess.


I think the older Sunbeam looked great - although they were trying to get me to buy a Tiger ...
