Keeping it Short

Lot's of admin to catch up on first thing so all I managed was one SAAB mile for bread in the morning. The car really is filthy though.

PM was better - I took the miles and started the Aston to let it warm up. It's not going to get much use so I'd better do that a few times over the next few weeks.

I also started looking at the Riley. I spotted that the oil pipe to the catch tin was not sealed at the joint. I thought I'd run the car up to temperature and see if something comes out. I can't see any 'mayonnaise' in the cam box though.

I was also pleased to see that the cloth in the 'valley' had soaked up the oil overnight in the plug depressions. So back to the Riley and instantly she was started a slight spurt came out. 

It looks like two of the joints are opening. Probably all the rough roads around here shaking them loose.

Whilst that was going on the Aston was started again and this time backed out so Oil could take his floor tiles back again. Ho hum.

Two steps forward and one back perhaps.

So what next - after putting everything away it was E-type time. 

I'd thought about the Talbot but Mr. E is not getting enough use - mind you what about the Aston ?!?

Good run though - only around the block but the sun was shining and the roads were mainly free.

ION: the Imp is starting life as a Tictok 'star'.


Oh well.
