That time of year.

[Tackleberry]

I love this time of year, cooler evenings, the smell of burning leaves and getting ready to do those odd jobs on the Capri.

 

But the current weather means it's still too good to put the car to bed for winter!!!

 

So today, thought I'd change the plugs and leads....one job ticked off.

 

Anyone else got any chores they're gonna be doing?

Not necessarily Winter chores, but just hoping to get her started and running for early next Spring.

I put her to bed 15 years ago.....

I started off quite well, but have not touched for a fortnight now, but hoping to be back on track sometime this week.

I desperately want to get her back on the road for a drive..

I then have the pressure of doing the same to the SC as daughter has made me promise it will be ready to drive her to her school leaving Prom.

Pressure pressure pressure.

 

The pinto is looking very cool mate.

Thanks mate...money and time well spent..

 

I had a lad from along my road ask if I'd take him to his prom in the Capri... Can't really turn him down.

Sorned mine for the winter, last Friday.

Finally moving back home permanently in about 10 days due to a new job, so hopefully I can get to do all the little jobs I've put off over the last 3 years.

Can't beat heading into the garage on a chilly night, turning on the radio and tinkering away....only broken up by the occasional cup of tea.

One more show to go! Hastings this weekend, then its hang the Mk3's keys up for winter, lots of work to do on the Crusader though!

Yeah cool, I think it's great when the youngsters still appreciate the coolness of an old car no longer or very rarely seen.

Beats turning up in any new RR or Bentley hands down.

I'm hoping the Tina comes back pretty quick ! Otherwise I'll be roped into some decorating.........BORING!

I opened this post very carefully as I thought you were going to say "this time of year when the spiders come out" :wah: :wah:

 

Thankfully, it does not say that

 

My car (which has not been out since Classic Ford Show 2015!) is going to be having a little tlc over the winter to make it a little more driveable/reliable.   Plan is to have an engine rebuild and then go with throttle bodies and do away with carbs

I take it you're not a spider fan then Jo?

I bloody hate them.... I can pick them up in a glass with a piece of card and lob them over next door's fence lol but if they're about to make a run for it and disappear under the sofa/bed then they get the slipper treatment lol

But they're your friend...they eat other bugs and flies....one of God's little creatures.

They're the spawn of Satan!
