First show!

Postby Dan Willis » Tue Jun 06, 2023 12:05 pm

Hi all,

After a long resurrection and a few "test drives" (in reality, confidence building drives), I took 4566 to Goodwood on Sunday for their Goodwood 75 Breakfast club. The drive, especially home, highlighted a couple of issues; in particular that she doesn't like staying in 5th gear for some reason... otherwise, a lot of heavy traffic meant the cooling system got a work out, so that's at least something positive.

https://www.goodwood.com/grr/event-cove ... fast-club/ - she's on the site!

On returning home I started taking her apart! Haha... not really, but I had to sort some bits out; I had no aerial reception (fixed), my driver's side door lights failed (the connector fell off) and I couldn't get the engine cover open (maybe heat?; it's working now...). Also, my gear gaiter tore along one side and it appears to be glued to the center console rather than via metal clips. Little mysteries.

All part of the classic-car ownership fun. It was a very positive morning, especially representing a year on the Goodwood grid!

Thanks all. I can barely believe she's road worth (well, if you consider!). It's still a bit nerve racking, but less so the more I use it and I already have three boxes of bits to fit. It... never ends :D
