Keeping the miles down

Working on the Talbot, cleaning and getting the right suitcases that fit best.

These two could have been made for it. That's my forward planning - buying the second one in 2015.

I also dried the carpets again in the very hot sun.

Then I checked the oil and it has used a little - checked with Polson and topped it up. Not bad for almost 450 miles though. 


I checked the water too but it just needed a splash even after that hot running.

Finally I paid the Polson bill which was 'reasonable' - well in line with expectations - so let's hope that's it for a while.

As to miles this month - guess what ? The Talbot was the clear winner with 135 (but almost 100 of that to Polson and back) so really the Imp at 111 was the most used. That was the Fate and the show last weekend probably.

So the pre-war team beat the classics this month.

Finally I did the E-Type and the Talbot windows - always lifts the car. 

I also noticed the battery conditioner on the Talbot was green at last. That took a day and a half.
