I've nothing really planned. I might get the Firenza out for a quick run, so give me a bit of room around the hatch so I can try to get it started now I've swapped the fuel pump over. _________________ 1976 Vauxhall HP Firenza, 1976 Vauxhall Sportshatch (x2), 1986 Audi coupe quattro, 2000 Audi TT |

Might pop out for a grumpy mule coffee and sausage sarnie at local farm shop? whether it'll be in Dellow or Mustang will depend on how sunny it is, and how many cyclists and warg riders are out on the back lanes? _________________ Dellow Mk2, 1951 built, reg 1952.

Would require some shifting of vehicles round to get our big Hillman out, the forecast is good though so I might be very tempted to get her out for a drive. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

There's rain in the forecast for Sunday in New England. Still, hoping to get the '32 Chevy out for a shakedown run to test the newly-installed exhaust manifold. It's a Coupe, so passengers remain mostly dry on rainy day drives. _________________ Owned: 1917 Ford Model T Touring

If the weather is like today I might be tempted to dust off the old car and go somewhere.

Can you do a 'circuit' of 6 miles diameter?
Maybe go out and do a few 'laps?' _________________ Dellow Mk2, 1951 built, reg 1952.

Hi
I might go to the end of the road to see what is passing.
Unless i Hear of somewhere nearby on a bus route.
I haven't driven since Christmas, as I had a left eye Retinal Venous Occlusion overnight, since then I have had 3 injections in that eye at 4 week intervals and a set of scan photos last week, now waiting to have a word with my consultant.
As an ex-instructor I am aware that I can drive with monocular vision but I am waiting until instructors are able to work without masks being required in the car (I can't see anything when I have a mask on because of misting on my glasses)
I have a local instructor, that I trust, to check me out for my speed and distance assessment using only one eye. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
