New year resolutions

[Chilliman]

So, whats your plans for 2013?

We have the 'over the winter jobs', which are great and usually a great inspiration to us all I have a small list of things to do this year before next winter, although I have to say number one is simply drive and enjoy

So, what you got planned between now and next winters 'off the road till 2014' list ?

I'm planning a body off for next winter, and a 'wow what an awesome engine bay' tart up

Top of my list for non mechanical or maintenance stuff is the later faired in headlights

Whats yours chaps?

this time last year, in a similar thread, I hoped to get a note out of my new Saxophone and learn to read music.

At Christmas I played in my first concert with a full concert band!

This year, I hope to do more of the same!

God knows what will happen with the car!

I plan to continue our love/hate relationship and attempt to b*tchslap the belligerent old wh*re into being a willing and reliable servant ...

I just plan............................................if it works out I have a beer, (still very thirsty!).

This year I plan to wash it at some point. Maybe August time.

[edo]

use him more (come rain or shine), and sort out the slightly loose handling feel which I suspect is buses etc..

I say sort out, what I mean is get Fernies to look at it!

Jeez TV8 that's great, I played when I was younger, took alot longer than that before I could subject the public to my drum sound, welldone in deed, now you can get back to tuning your real instrument, musical ear and all that, I love the Tvr exhaust music more than music itself, it's a tune and half! erm back to point, drive everywhere as often as I can, now the car don't leak..... To much, meet up with a few of you tivers, bit of track day, keep tightening up the car, bushes all round next job! Always something to do.

Get out far more than I have done over the last few years, includes my bike as well as the car, very weather dependant obviously but fingers crossed.

Use it for longer trips,,,,,,,Jan 1st 60 miles in the freezing cold but god it felt good.

Finish Kate off which means...
New aluminium radiator
" fuel pump
" water pump
" alternator
" starter motor
" battery

Then have twin plenum fitted plus re-map, then new headlights and front end respray. All this to be done by end of March then tour Scotland, tour South of England, maybe Belgium and all other available times just drive, drive, drive
