Let's hope that 2025 brings you all troublefree motoring

Happy new year to you too!

Same to all. This years resolution, not leave my TR7 till spring to start up. With the rear brakes rusted I had to take the rear wheels off to break the drums free. It wasn't a problem years previous when kept in garage but now sits in open shed as the bays are filled with '88 Tercel 4X4 wagon and a Tumeric TR7 all under restoration. I had planned to keep it under year round collectors insurance but it's just to wet out, Access too mucky with pine needles that build up much faster (I graveled it 4 years ago) with climate change. The hot summer droughts now last three and four months rather than two weeks of previous decades with more dead needles dropping through a longer period with more of the lower branches going dead despite some watering in summer (which we aren't supposed to do because of water shortages in the wet coast. One wouldn't notice changes unless you lived here over 4 decades like I have. Anyway, I won't be driving in winter, but will be starting the car up once a month to drive it forward and back in the drive way.
