Not sure if folk are like me but isn’t it great to get a sunny afternoon to catch up with all those niggles that build up over the winter!!

Had afternoon off so applied a bit of tlc to the coupe.

Fluid top up, fixed some rattly trim, replaced broken cig lighter with usb outlet and fitted new ‘proper’ 12v outlet in drivers footwell. Buffed up all the door/boot rubber seals with a bit of silicone spray and finished off wiping off sticky finish with nail varnish on the sides of handbrake tunnel housing (had gone sticky)!! Even managed a wash and quick polish!!!

She’s looking ok...easy to fall out of love with these cars but a bit of fettling and it makes you realise what a good practical classic they are!! smile

Yep,

Took the chance of grabbing an hour or so of dry roads and sunshine to do a mile or two in mine - since then snow and bad weather...cant wait for the next chance!!!

It's the simple things in life that we take for granted that boosts the spirits right enough. In a mad world filled with hatred & horrific stories our wee plot of land aint perfect but it does have its moments. yes
