Ummmmm.... No. Partly because it feels like a waste of time given it is verboten to leave the house Think I will get it booked in for the MOT, though - hopefully it will be quick as I imagine it will be quieter at the moment, plus it would be nice to be free to go out if needed. I'm going slightly stir-crazy sitting indoors all the time, and the roads are super-quiet so a good time for a blast!

Still no front plate. Oh Well I can see a Corona box being used as a tempory plate that should keep the Cops away from me. I have ordered a set of plate for the other Rs as well so I should get them all together.

Fired it up for the first time in over a month, took it a mile down the road for an MOT. Got MOT and drove it home again. I kept the hood up even though it was sunny so as to not look like I was having fun. Handbrake is down on efficiency yet again, even though it had a complete brake overhaul for last years MOT

Put it on axle stands when I got home ready to remove and re-fit the exhaust. With any luck I can stop it banging against the rear brace. Ordered some poly hangers from BOFI which will arrive next week sometime so will be a 2-weekend thing

Fitted new engine mounts, which was a pig of a job, only to find I have a suspected leaky water pump. Time to save up for a cambelt kit then..

I spent three hours this afternoon lying on my maintenance rug laboriously picking the stupid Kenwood stickers off my wheels. However what could have been very frustrating was actually a great experience; partly because of the sunshine, but mostly because I was listening to Chris Harris interviewing Nicky Grist on the collecting cars podcast. Anyone with a fluid ounce of petrol in their veins needs to listen to it; particularly if they remember watching Juha Kankkunen and Colin McRae on TV. Youtube link Alternatively search for Collecting Cars on the Apple podcast app. I've listened to all of them and they are all pretty good, but this is the best one. 3h25 though so make sure you have a clear schedule!
