For reasons various Ive been able to enjoy the Grale again for the first time in what seems like a month and woohoo smile

For most of the past few months my motoring has been done in a fairly ropey old Rover 214. As I was/still am in theory selling the 'Grale Ive tried to keep her cosseted, warm, tidy and clean in her garage. Do the work hack in the Rover and since quitting, moving house, etc doing all the hacking about in the Rover.

Over the weekend I was off to Goodwood for the vintage fly in and thought "sod it, Im taking the 'Grale out" and oh it was bliss. After weeks of Roverdom...some proper motoring! With the last lot of crap to come up from Kent to the new house, I had computers and a desk, I thought sod it again, Im using the Lancia, so I flattened the rear, packed her up and travelled up. Who says 'Grales cant be practical every day cars? smile

Still in love with it, still dont want to sell it. What happens at 3k rom still makes me giggle...shouldnt really be legal doing it all in gorgeous Italian Recaro leather!
