Anyone else seduced by today's clear skies to bring their classic out to play? Still sat in the office but imminently going to fry my legs on searing vinyl (to which I will then stick) then get the thing spluttering into life through airlocks in the high pressure fuel lines, hoping the bubbles will clear through the injectors, all the while feeling my bonce get sunburned...

Took the MX5 to work this morning, towed home by the RAC (Ironically as this is my reliable classic) so forced to use the TR6. happy days.

Had to drop some wheels/tyres off at a mate's house so rather than throw them in the Jeep I thought i'd take the MX5.

One in the boot, one in the foot well and two on the passenger seat, job done.

Or so I thought.

The boot and foot well were too small so I had 3 stacked on the seat and one on the shelf, resting on the folded roof. biggrin

Yes, but I used my classic air-con to keep cool

I have been trying for years to find the Chevy classic cook book but with no success. It gave instructions on how, engine warm, how many miles to cook a steak in the middle of the V8 for one, and loads of other recipes. I did take the XKSS out but very carefully parked it under a tree. Since it was 40C in the shade I hate to think what the leather would have done to my legs if I hadn't!

The ventilation in my '71 Mustang is really rather good, with large under-dash vents opened by two organ-stop pull things. Plus large door windows.

Mine has never been fitted with AC and doesn't really need it. The open door windows offer very little buffeting, even at high-ish speeds.

My 71 Daimler seems to be particularly hot inside, today I've parked it in a spot where it will the bell to go home rings.

I have to work for a living!

A couple more weeks and I hope to be able to nip out in the evenings.

Don't leave it parked in the sun and it's not so bad!
