Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

[Rick]

Assuming we'll be compelled, rather than strongly urged, to remain at home unless absolutely necessary in the near future, have you got plans in place - with regard to any old vehicle(s) you might own - for things you'll be getting on with? This assumes you're able to do any work at home on vehicles.

The trouble with being retired is you never get a day off,😄😄😄

I agree with alanb. I can't work out how I ever had time to go to work! I hear of friends going off for holidays in foreign parts, but I can't afford the time for such fripperies.

At the moment our company looking into certain departments in the business working from home, I run the Design Office so that is one of them and will be paid. On the other hand staff on the factory floor dont have that opportunity so will be sent home with only SSP of £94 a week.

Its a sad state of affairs.

We are moving house on 3rd April so priority for us is keep COVID free till after that. I will use as much time home down the yard as possible but it will be on my own as my father who always comes down with me is 74 so staying at home altogether!

I have virtually nothing at home that I can work on, all my stuff is in the shed a couple of miles away. I hope it doesn't get to a point where travelling in a car on my own to work in a shed on my own is going to be an issue, but if it is, I've a lot of books to get through.

We are taking sensible precautions, avoiding crowds and busy areas, but still going for our walks and trying to keep as much as possible to our normal routine.
As we both suffer from asthma and I have had two heart problems and two lots of stents it is of some concern but we try to
"keep calm and carry on"
Out working in the garage this afternoon so safe from any viruses other than old car disease but I've had that for many years now.

i intend changing the rear springs on my consul and a few other jobs and then get out for a drive or 2, the roads may be quieter!

Once the house move is out the way and if we have to isolate I think that reading through my collection of car related books may be a good call.

Once they are all unpacked!

My wife and I are looking into the abyss. Our licensed boarding cattery is finished. Basically, we are ruined. No one is going anywhere so they don't need us to look after their cats.

I am getting on with the MG rebuild and trying to pretend everything else is just a bad dream.

[Rootes75]

So sorry to hear that Ray.
