Mark69 Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Having spent most of the morning preparing garden for winter I started on the valance this afternoon, although most of the prep was done the new valance went in a far easier and quicker than I expected. So job done. At this rate I'll be ready for paint soon☺ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim D. Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Did my annual pilgrimage to the Goodwood revival. Brilliant trip except for the rain and the mud (why did I polish the car before I went). Also had the coil die on the way down.. Wonders of wonders I had a spare in the boot, so 10 minutes on the side of the road and we were off again!! Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
