A break in the weather. The V8 is going out for a blast today to stretch its legs. The weather has been soooo depressing lately.

I managed to get an hour in mine too! Testing the re-stuffed seats was my excuse. 1hr with no backpain afterwards. It's a miracle.
I had the full padding re-done and added lumbar support and flattening out of the curve in the back of the seat.

I also took advantage of a bright day

Discovered that the heater does work after all - I should have realised that the way to get heat would be to set the heater control to cold!

Now that I've finished replacing my petrol tank cradle today, I'm intending to get out for a blatt over the next few days, maybe New Years Day when the roads are really quiet (well until you get a TVR blatting along them!)

My S is still on it's winter holiday in Mr Plow's garage so today I did 56 miles on my bike instead. Never ever again say that S seats are uncomfortable!! wink

Given the forecast you may need to get some inflatable outriggers!

If your going out - New Years day is looking very good so far. Today looks like the end of the world in south!. Re the heater - I had the same revelation. The controls are so stiff I've decided to leave it on heat!

Same here. When I want to change, I set it by pushing the cable in or out from the engine bay ;-)

Well... plans for "blatt" are on hold... took the car out of the drive yesterday to go for fuel - and just as I pulled out onto the road, the fuel pump packed in.

Managed to push it back into the garage, so today will be spent trying to figure out if it's the fuse, the relay(s), the pump itself, or the wiring.

Don't you just love them?
