It's not going to rain today so out came the Beast for it's first run out of 2014. And once again, it's a pile of crap. I appear to have lost several cylinders again. I had to keep my right foot constantly bipping the throttle through fear that the engine was going to stall, braking only on the handbrake. At least that works. Why didn't I buy an MX5?

Post Winter Update 2014
The Winter To Do List was vast. But I didn't get round to doing very many of them. I did do some under-sealing the other day though. I need to have a go at the rusty sills and there is some sponge coming out of the N/S front suspension ...

MOT 2013
Not a good start to the day as it broke down on the way! £20 worth of dodgy fuel from dodgy Datty and the chuffing thing wouldn't start. Thankfully, (Simon and) I rolled it down the little hill just outside the little garage (where the motor home place was) . The bloke turned up for work at about 08:15 and couldn't help but get his hands under the bonnet! Lots of revs and can of "start-ya-bastard" got it going.
The MOT then. Unbelievable! The rusty sills didn't appear to be an issue. It failed on 4x tyres, which I knew about, and the emissions, which I presumed. Excellent!
