Happy Birthday to me

I got the call from Phil today at the beast was ready to collect. It was from Leah actually. I could hear her smiling on the other end of the 'phone as she had taken it for a little spin.

Phil suggested I took it for a little test drive. Bejaysus! How fast?! So this is what its like to drive a proper TR8 then? Why the feck did I wait so long to get it tuned?! Turns out that the spark plugs needed changing; that the carb linkages were loose and thus didn't work together; that 2 of the HT leads were the wrong way round; that the carbs needed balancing.

A [good] night out on the pop is all it cost to restore the silly cheesey smile upon my boat.

Now for the clunk ...
