A snowy one for our first call of the day in South Cockerington, near Louth this morning, where it was really good to meet Roger and Elizabeth for work on their 2004 TF 135 (in paint code FAR). They’d moved to the area about 12 months ago and were wondering who to use for the servicing etc having always used the lovely Jason Swinyard over in Oldham at MGTastic. Thanks also to one of our customers, Julie, over in Grimsby who recommended they get in touch with ourselves.
Full cambelt service carried out with no issues, all the major bolts having been suitably copper greased. The car is in super condition and we look forward to our return next year for the minor service. Big thanks to them for the cuppas and biscuits and, more importantly, a garage to work in, keeping us sheltered from the elements.
From there we headed over to Brigg, where we met Darren for hydragas fill on his fairly new acquisition of a very tidy looking year 2000 MGF 1.8 (in paint code CAQ). Great to meet him and have a chat, still plenty of bounce left on the suspension, and on a quick inspection he’s got himself a good one, in what he describes as something for him and his wife to enjoy some fun days out in.
Weather was a bit too brisk for a walk back over the Humber Bridge to home, but the sunrise this morning from it was beautiful.
We haven’t had a lazy last few days, we bought ourselves another doer upper, a TF 160 from a lovely chap in Richmond. We will get this one turned around, along with some others in the new year. That’s the plan! Plus we’ve also bought ourselves a bargain of a run around, rather than using the van all the time, a BMW X5, at least we can pick up family members for days out and use it for tip runs etc.
Hope everyone has stayed warm and safe on what has been a quick jolt into winter weather 🥶 – https://ift.tt/SixEpA9
