Crikey seems time passes by quicker every day

Well first drive out, steam poured from bonnet with in 10 miles,heart sank,but turned out to be condensation in the PAS reservoir,which help boil the juice,replaced with fresh and all fine..

Then few hundred miles later,wipers packed in,which needed motor strip down and electrical wiring replacing,other than than she is running well.

Been a bit busy last few weeks, so she hasnt been out much,but hopefully getting her to Chatsworth on 4th Oct.

Need to get them final pics on here
