Have not had time to post any blog entries or indeed work on the car for months. The reason, the expected arrival of our second baby over the Christmas period. No sooner had I got the car on the road, I had to lock it up in the garage and forget about it for [...]
As you may have seen, last weekend was the day I have been working towards for the past year, the first drive of the car I built in the garage. It was a great and momentous day. The feelings of triumph, excitement and achievement are difficult to explain although I am sure they are familiar [...]

After a late night in the garage yesterday, it was an early start to drop Hannah at school and then head on over to the village of Aldbrough (about 12 miles away) to pick up the trailer from the hire company. And here it is. As you can see it was a bit of a [...]
