have been driving the car around a bit to get some miles on the back end.
The 'mechanical preparation to do list' is done and after so much mechanical drama i'm not feeling complacent just wandering if we're in the eye of the storm.... too much of a lull.
I cannot forgive the programme 'The Real Italian Job:which stars the chef James Martin's Mille Miglia drama' http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00g82ff next on this weekend Sunday 24 May 19:30 on BBC2 (watch out for Richard and Lou) . James who bought a 1948 Maseratti and had the engine rebuilt the engine .....he only did a few hundred miles on the 1st day when it expired....
So have been planning 'what if'/ back up cars. Plan 1 is that we get the Beetle back on the road after a day of fettling .... or failing that we'll be there in my mazda MX5 ...
Most of the work has been thinking about spares checking the published lists...next blog is the list
- new vernier coupling received
- spigot bearing ordered
- been having a right old drama trying to get an old lucas distributor.... so that still needs to be ordered in the next few days
