Actual Contact!
Living at the other side of the city to mycars ( for now ) and not having touched them for a month, I'm ashamed to say I hadn't seen them for a week - until last night.
A large bucket, loads of soapy water and I was searching for the ubiquitous blonde in white t-shirt. Noe being forthcoming I cleaned the 2000 and Alfa myself. I even started the Alfa, so will move her in the next couple of days. The 2000 needs a jump of course, so will sort that and move her too..... Hopefully pick up the 2500 by the end of the week and get som suspension work done. The DS needs moving as the garage is needed, so searching again.
I've been really lazy with the cars, so my own fault when I need to sort things due to my own neglect. A hard winter heading my way car wise......... it just never ends. Good job I'm here for the looooove huh!
I'll obviously keep you posted.
About time I got the damn pics up too. APologies but I'll try harder...........
Month away - just bad excuses
OK - I can only say in my defence that I've been snowed under with my new business, so in the office all hours god sends - then Einstein ( my Shar-Pei ) needs his evening 2hours in the local forest while I unwind as I stroll, almost at one with nature.... so not much time to get things done. On top of that I've recently spent the evenings explaining ( 100's of times ) to my girlfriend the ins n outs of projectors ( a work project she has to do ) - to no avail of course. We're now in a new flat too...... nuff said.
Now the shocker, I haven't even SAT in ANY of my CARS over the last month. HOW BAD IS THAT?
I have the horrible feeling I'm no going to be welcomed back with open arms either - you know how stroppy females get when you ignore them for any period of time - I'll be creeping up with the auto equivalent of flowers and chocolates ( jump leads, eazistart and fresh oil,plugs etc.... )
SO status at present is:
2500S - still with the garage - ordered inner rear arch that never showed - may pick up and fir plethora of suspension parts etc... I have sitting here. Can always go back and finish welding on that final part right?
2000 - still a leaking radiator - service here in Brussels just doesn't exist. I'll end up killing someone I swear! It deserves a Blog all of it's own..... if I have time then it may even happen!
Alfa GTV - haven't had the nerve to investigate if it is in fact the head gasket again - but I'm not holding my breath, been researching supercharging the beast - but have the 2.5V6 sitting there too.....mmmmmmmm
Citroen DS - finally collected all the parts I'll need ( yeah right - like that is ever the case in reality ) so I can crack on. I'll keep you posted as I need to form a queue, after the 2500S
Dolomite Sprint - DO NOT ASK!!!!
Spitfire - still sitting at my sis's - but they move soon so in peril of needing to be driven! Clutch swap imminent ......... week off to go get it done booked.
I really will get something done now - don't expect good news though!

P.S. - Also time in Scotland for my bro getting married........ so not really physically possible to do much for that period.
