Dumped it in the car park at work and spent the morning ragging the arse of a Unimog U500 ready for the snow we aren't going to get in February :D Which was nice... 8)

After all the family related stuff, Got into garage and finally got to the point of organising tools to start restoration project - the plan was to get the back seat out and pull the carpet to assess the state of the floor pans. Been procrastinating on the start for several months!

Had the pleasure of a few 405s with that in (plus many an F-Type), quite a hoot to drive!

Got an MOT on the Battlebus.

Replaced the headlight bulbs on the XJ *again*, which is a bumper off job. Bloody idiots.

Put a 1k resistor in TBE's LPG loom until I can work out what sensor I need, and acquire one....   ...and changed the settings so it wont flick onto gas for at least 2 mins after starting, seeing as the LPG ECU thinks the coolant is constantly 89C ;D

Driven all of them here, there and everywhere, as it seems I'm allergic to the shit hire cars I keep getting. Mainly Nissan Jokes and Qashtwonks.

Mrs TB has nicked the Battlebus for a few days until I properly sort her LPG.

Mopped out the Mondeo's spare wheel well which has taken to becoming a pond after a wet spell.  ::)

I'll have to get the silicone out when and if climate change will give us a break with some dry weather!  :-\

Buy some gold-fish and a fountain
it's quite relaxing sitting by the pond with a can,  watching the fish  :y
