It's Salt Boys, Salt !

It's never good news when the boss phones about the car. So the SAAB failed the MOT - very badly - catastrophic rust on the rear suspension. I'd suspected something bad was coming. So we're waiting on an estimate to weld it all up - we'll see.

While that's going on it was off to pick up the Ferrari in the MK7 - fingers crossed it is actually fixed - again.

I had a good look at the two F50's in there - I spotted the 'weave' on the boot - of course it is a carbon fiber body and tub apparently.

I think the 308 is nicer though. The drive back was very good - the car back to being powerful and smooth - ignoring the poor road surface and ruts. I even called into for a big bag of drugs when I got back to the village.

Yes that's us outside the Doctors Surgery. An inappropriate car perhaps ?

Mind you I took the MK7 to deliver them.

All the cars must know the run by now. What will happen when the client moves ...

In the afternoon I treated the Ferrari to a clean.

It looked very good in the cold light. Good enough to keep ?

It is all adding up though - the Aston, now the Ferrari, the SAAB may be dead and next is the Imp to the specialist on Monday. Oh and the Talbot still has that little water leak to diagnose.

Finally to ground me I fixed the loose and missing machine screws on the van ramp.

I even made one from a longer bolt I had - which was pleasing.

Anyway the first salt goes down tonight - so that's officially bloody Winter.
