Took the opportunity of a dry and warm Sunday last week to attend a local car show.

I'm not really one for showing the car- but this was on a more relaxed- roll in, and roll out when you want to. And it went quite well.

Mine was the only Coupe present, and in fact Italian vehicles were in the distinct minority. But she drew a fair bit of attention. I'd spent some dedicated time prepping her under the bonnet-first time in a couple of years and a really focused wash, hoover, polish and she looked good if I say so myself.

All of this is part of the shakedown tests for a mini UK tour starting w/o of 22nd June - off west to try and find the Harrys Garage Test route, and a few days away in that location. May pop by and surprise Joe at FCCS if I get that far up.

Annoyingly the usually reliable A/C has stopped. I've tried the "how to" guide, but no luck with fuses, wiring It was regassed just last year and stopped running. Then started again. And now again dead. I think I will try and get under the car this weekend to see if I can locate and check the pressure sensor at the bottom of the dryer is ok. If not may throw another regas at it...other then that I suspect its my turn for some expenditure to get it resolved.

Regardless - just to say should you see my Red Coupe making time in traffic- feel free to waive! I use the car far too little. A trip to route the EU was on the cards- but time was too limited so far this year to commit to something a little bit more exotic. So UK it is- and there is nowt wrong with that!

Hope your all making the most of your cars now the sunny period is (kind of ) with us!!

Yes if it's never been changed the pressure sensor is worth a punt. To memory you need a long-reach 22mm socket? And maybe an elbow joint to help access.

You don't need to de-gas when you change it.

Thanks Edinburgh!

Enjoy your trip
