Day 6 & 7 of Scotland trip.
Westhill and Inverurie near Aberdeen yesterday and heading west today…
Our commute took as short distance from our digs in Durris to Westhill, near Aberdeen for work on David’s TF 160 (in JFV). An absolute pleasure to meet David, and what an interesting life he’s had as a motor sport journalist and commentator, so many interesting stories.
Having owned many different vehicles over the years he thought he would see what these TF 160’s are all about, so just over a year ago he found himself this one.
The cambelt service was due so he asked us to come over next time we were in Scotland to carry it out. Belts, water pump, all filters, plugs and oil all replaced. A very nice example that the previous owner had kept in good order.
We could have happily stayed all day chatting, but had to get on to our next job. I’m sure David will have some fun out in her over the summer months.
From there we went along to Inverurie, where it was great to finally meet Paul. We’d had various conversations over the last couple of years so it was finally good to see him in person and his ‘98 MGF 1.8 mpi (in JRJ).
The cambelt service was due so this was duly carried out for him. Plus Jon eased off a couple of very awkward caliper bolts that wouldn’t come off when Paul was changing all the discs and pads.
Thanks to his lovely daughter for the plate of cakes! Hope to see Paul again next month at the Highlander of he can get there for a day.
After a very good breakfast at our really fab digs this morning we set off in good time to head to our next destination, over on the west. A beautiful scenic drive so far, we’ll be calling into Fort William for our provisions for the next few days. 🏔️
Happy Easter to everyone, hope you’re all having a lovely bank holiday weekend and getting out and about having top down fun. 🌼 – https://ift.tt/fR5T341
