out for a spin

Postby Roy Hankins » 26 Feb 2012 19:19

Spring has sprung today and with it being such a lovely day Michelle
and I decided to grab her camera and go for a spin around the New Forest.

I wanted to make sure everything was running okay before the Stonliegh trip next weekend.

Anyway Michelle as usual took some nice pictures so I thought I'd
share a couple with you.

And the lovely Michelle

And I apologize for this one but I promised Michelle I'd put it on.
Yours truly I'm afraid.

At least the car looks good.

Hope to see you at Stonliegh.

Thanks John.

I was thinking the same about the weather.
Let's hope it's just as good next Sunday.

See you next weekend.

Took my Sprint out yesterday, serviced and polished it today. I love the good weather, if it's like this next weekend we will have a great turnout at Stoneleigh.

I was out and about this weekend with the 8.

While I was in a business, someone had put a package of ranch dessing under the car next to mine. When that car backed up, it exploded the dressing all over my car (at least the hardtop was on).

I was not happy!!!

Plus I had to put in a new battery (can't blame that electrical problem one on Lucas).

Oh well - it was still better than driving a normal car.
