Noticed an annoying pile of boxes and also the lack of christmas decorations in my flat, so thought I’d fix both at once :-)
Or so my birthday cake proclaimed - certainly partied on through the night like a youngster though it seems :-)
Very much enjoying Forza Motorsport 2 for Xbox 360 today. Always wanted a camaro with flames, now if only there was a cortina in it too… :-)
Interesting selection of cars and a great day out as always! - lots of photos here
The cortina lives again, and is now very clean; Great to see her again after a lengthy garage session.
Hopfields autos in bermondsey did a great job on the strut tops, less so fitting the exhaust manifold - which blew on the way back. I’ll have to look for a performance one this time, it seems to keep going.. only 2 weeks till goodwood, so i’d better get a move on!
very smooth welding on the strut top repairs, i’ll have to have a go at the colour though - it’s a little out.
Interior’s still looking good, just a few trim items to replace to tidy it up a little, though perhaps a rev counter would be nice at some point..
Thought i’d try and be healthy this summer, so got myself a bike. one of the cheapest ones from halfords at £90, stripped of all the nasty stickers. much more fun than going to the gym I reckon. also useful for getting around town when the cortina’s not working (so that’ll be often then). Great value, and unlike a gym membership, I can sell it at the end of the summer if I get bored of it :-)
Hang on to your old gadgets ’till they’re retro, be nice to the planet :-)
so that’ll be two hundred and thirty one thousand years then?
maybe i’ll come back later..
Great gig @ the 100 club, london by my old workmate joe (right, with the explorer). Even printed professional looking tickets :-) ***** for entertainment, (though they only play every few years)
