It's been a few weeks since my Chimaera went into the body shop and we haven't had a drop of rain since I dropped it off.

Another hot and sunny weekend has just passed, with warm and dry conditions forecast for the foreseeable and even a couple of long weekends thrown in for good measure.

I hope you are all enjoying the great weather my bad luck seems to have given........I watched a few TVR's pass me yesterday as I drove along in my tin-top.

Keep up the good work! wink

Actually I know the feeling, having been "between" sports cars for most of last year. frown
But look on the bright side: when it's back on the road those sunny days will be even sweeter! drivingcool

The last couple of weekends have been particularly good smile

As said already it will certainly make you appreciate it and enjoy it more when you get it back.

Ah well, last year mine had been sitting in someone else's workshop from late March to the beginning of June, most of that time waiting for an ARP head stud kit to arrive...

Of course, when I finally got fed up and located another set that was available off the shelf, both arrived on the same day rolleyes

I feel for you, it's always the way - these things could never happen over winter!

Rest in the knowledge that the car will be back, and better than ever, with a long hot summer ahead.
