    And…….


    apparently the brake drums were so gunged up and sticky that it took too long to sort them out and the MOT will be tomorrow.
    I foresee another bill that is bigger than I’d hoped.
    Still, if the brakes were binding that badly and we still managed to move both forwards and backwards, and at a decent pace, I’m quite excited to know what we can do now! Henry’ll be a flying machine! :D

    Looks like the owner has moved the side mirror to the door from top of the front wing and left a gromit where it was .
    Come to think of it you need good eye site when its that far off ...wouldn't be at all surprised if the person is about my age .
    I am off to Ireland soon so don't think i will be able to view this till i get back .

    The brakes have proved troublesome.
    But...
    Hallelujah, I can give the 'orrible plastic rollerskate Toyota Aygo loan car back now...
    Henry has an MOT! :)

    No, but the garage is en route…. and I will use him for work on sunny days, much like I take the camper sometimes.
    ….On those weeks when I start counting the days til retirement, somehow a nice vehicle makes it fractionally better!

    No, which was very disappointing! Not a Mr Whippy van in sight :(

    Now there's an idea for Henry - traditional, authentic, home made ice-cream for sale. Who could resist:)

    Finally, finally, the slightly wider pick-up wheels (4.5inches rather than 3!) have come back into stock, so Henry has some new shoes. Looks like that'll be my job for the weekend :)

    I needed to replace all the tyres anyway, and the current wheels are rusty and in need of some paint or powder coat, so it seemed the logical option.

    I don't think I'll be worrying any of the F1 pit crews!
