Stripped another Omega for parts, then took Obi out for a drive.

Filled Mace with some free petrol

Rather shockingly, washed the Omega and the MR2 .. by hand.

Nearly died from an overdose of exercise, I tell thee.

Gave the Desmond a bit of a wash and brush up yesterday.

Took it out today to skelp it's arse for a bit prior to the upcoming MOT.

Could swear that the new cam sensor and a bottle of JimBob's Wynn's fuel injector cleaner have made it more sprightly.

Had the RAC to it, Had the lift pump out to confirm its deadness, sworn at it several times and put it back together...

[Pippin]

Changed the alloys over that I got the weekend... on the down side though, noticed that the front discs are in a terrible state and could do with changing and the blasted exhaust has got a hole in it right where the middle section joins the rear box...

Cleaned up the 3.2 heads and leak tested the combustion chambers.Took pics of the cats for a member.
Visited Johnnycboy to borrow his cam locking kit.
Sat in Tescos car park in my car wishing I could find the time  to service it,change the cambelt kit which should arrive tomorrow,fit the washer jets/pump etc. and the complete leather interior that I have waiting to be fitted.

I have walked past my car twice on the driveway on my way to work. It is only a short walk

When I got home I reduced the tyres pressures from 41 and 48 psi to 31 and 33 psi. They were at maximum due to a trip to Scotland last week with 4 people a black labrador and a full roofbox
