Andy texts me triumphantly. The old girl is through her 2009 MOT and street legalk once again. Apparently there were some minor, quickly solve-able issues around headlight dipping and a tail light, but she's through and we have the ticket. Andy reports though, that she did seem a bit lumpy and grumpy around starting so that she may need some TLC to the ignition and timing.

Maybe she's just feeling neglected. I have a week off coming up, so I may take the time to give her a good run around, loosen her up and make her feel cherished again. That reminds me, we also have at some stage, to loosen off the very stiff front left "frotteur". They were a pain to set up and impossible to get them all to the same stiffness (well, to we amateurs, they were, anyway) and we've not had a chance since, to adjust them.

Meanwhile Andy, all the best to your Mum, our dear friend Mary and the land-owner where we hold the Hoppers camps. She has unfortunately suffered a medical emergency while on holiday in Australia and is spending some time in Wagga Wagga hospital (I kid you not! It's in NSW) before being flown home, we hope, this week.

More soon on both these stories, and hopefully some pics of Mmle out on the road again. I'm looking forward to it. These old cars shopuld not be left in storage. They are there to be used and driven about.
