Got my Corvette's MOT booked for this Thursday, first time it'll have moved in 4 months or so! Can't wait to get out and about in it again.

Also got the added fun of my brother, Dad and myself having gone 3 ways on an Ariel Atom 3, which I've not even see in the flesh yet, so even more fair weather fun to be had!

You’re a month behind me!
Out and driving around ASAP to see what, if anything, I need to repair/replace before longer trips.

rofl with hindsight I've probably missed quite a few nice weather days already, but in general I wait until clocks change to start getting some evening use.

Very soon, but not yet...

Tax Exempt, MOT Exempt - pump up the tyres check the oil, and away I go.

Tentatively dug out the 911 turbo this weekend after a 4-month lay-up. Half expecting something to groan or go pop but it behaved itself impeccably. Great to get out there again.

Had my SL mot'd and serviced last week, SORN since March last year. It felt good to drive it again, but looks like it is about to be sold, should be collected this weekend.

Not sure if I am doing the right thing.

Just popped back to my house to make sure I can actually get the car out on Thursday! Forgot with all the house stuff being delivered it might have been blocked in! Phew.

Still a bit too chilly for the 2-Eleven, and the service/MOT indy is a 6 hour round trip. Brrr!

Nice to see people beginning to get their motors out.

I bought this in December and it has sat in the garage until last weekend where I finally got to take it out on its first drive. Roll on the better weather and here's to some great adventures for all :-)

I was going to but the chassis legs are rusty and I'm probably better off scrapping it than trying to save it frown

What car is it?

I had to do the chassis legs on my Evo, over £4k bill but no way was I ever scrapping that car.

Love that. Found memories of a hit MILF who used to play at my tennis club rocking up in one in the same colour too.
