TLG (Tender Loving Graham)

I had a great day today in the workshop with Graham and the lads. He kindly agreed to fit me in for an urgent appointment after the rally in France at the weekend.

Nothing too major needed attention but lots of little niggles were making quite a racket under the bonnet.

Air filter had worked loose and needed tightening, Graham manufactured a bespoke gasket for the heat exchanger in true Heath Robinson style, refitting of a headlamp that a knocked off its housing while on a gravel rally stage (harder than it looks to put right), a pint of acid into the battery (yikes!), new fire retardant bonnet lining, tightening the hydraulic pump belts and a few other bits.

She's running sweet as a nut now and ready to take on the stiff competition at the Ilkley Jubilee historic on Sunday.

Allez les rouges.
