Re: Very overdue project !!!

Actually got the old girl out for a run around the block today, ran really well once warm with only a tiny amount of hesitation here and there ( well its an elford after all)
Just need to fill her up with some premix for safety, then take her for her first motorway speed run in 20yrs !!
I will report back once I have been

Re: Very overdue project !!!
Where are you from Steve ?
Could go for a blast in convoy if you fancied it ?
Or maybe see you at a car show in the future
She looks great!
Take is easy

Once I have got a few speed runs under my belt I would love to get together for a cruise.
