What a fantastic run home this evening over the North Yorkshire moors, passing through Grosmont, Pickering etc following a lovely day at work…
Our first call was in Washington for annual service and replacement of one of the spheres on Stu’s fab MGF mpi. Stu had also asked us to give the car a check over prior to his and Mandy’s NC 500 run. Lovely to see Mandy, thanks for the cuppa. Shame not to see Stu, but a post from him later was good to see as they headed out for fish and chips at the beach.
We then went over to Billingham to fit a Daytona to Gary’s TF 135, that he’s been having such a lot of fun with since purchasing her last year. He wanted a stainless back box and loved the look of the quads. They really suit the car.
Our journey continued on to Loftus, Saltburn-by-the-sea where it was great to see Karl again. His TF 135 was losing coolant and Karl had suspected it was from the stat or the inlet manifold. His suspicions were correct with the thermostat, the union that connects it to the back of the water pump had sheared off. So we replaced this along with stainless steel engine bay coolant pipes. Date to be sorted for some other things. Lovely to have cuddles with Gizmo again, should have remembered to bring a carrot! Lovely to see Gary, who popped in to say a brief hello on his rounds, hope you have a lovely, not too noisy, run out in ‘Madam’ later!
Beautiful weather all day with lovely people and their fab cars.
We took the scenic route home, and enjoyed the drive. Bit of a contrast to the sh*t storm that was last night. Just want to say here though, ‘thank you’ for the massive support we have received from everyone on that post and in messages and phone calls. – https://ift.tt/363HZbI
