It's been a while

It's been over a year since I updated this blog, mainly because I haven't had much to say. In that time the GT6 took me to my first autosolo at Bovingdon and a track day at Goodwood. All was going well until I took a trip to the motor museum at Gaydon, only to find a catastrophic failure of the water pump when  I tried to head home, so that meant waiting around for a few hours on a cold February evening.

I've tried to take a break from working on the car, instead just enjoying it for what it is. My latest project is an old steam ship called Freshspring, which I seem to have got involved with as an active volunteer and society secretary amongst other roles. If you want to know more about the ship, there is a website, http://www.ssfreshspring.co.uk/ and a Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/SSFreshspringSociety

Unfortunately, while driving to the ship last night I was coming around a corner to find a courier van coming straight towards me on my side of the road. Brakes were fully applied ( I don't remember doing it, but I must have) but there was contact.



The insurance company has been informed and I'm now waiting on a quote for repairs.
