Drove it to church
What for? Were they giving free easter eggs/hot x buns away?
Loads of free food ;)

Not the community wine then  ??? ::)
C of E, I think the wine thing is Catholics?

Its C of E TB, tho you should have been 'confirmed' to partake in Holy Communion otherwise you just get a blessing  :y
See, I'm not very good at this religion thing  :-[

I am very good at worshipping my patron saint, St Ella.

This thread really makes me feel guilty,as the latest addition to the fleet ::)has been sitting on the drive for a couple of weeks now,and it's needing some cosmetic work but the crap cold weather is holding it up.Looking forward to getting on with it as soon as the 'warmer' weather kicks in,but until then I'm just going have to keep on looking at it and wishing I lived some where a tad warmer :(

Me too - was going to pop off the front wheels on the Silver Bullet to check the pads, and properly was the wheels at same time. But I've decided its far too cold ;D

err, I mean, I had to fix replace the outside tap, and in this weather, the sealant is not going off very fast, so I can't use the hose, thus can't wash the wheels whilst they are off, so will wait til next weekend ::)

Noticed TBE's oil is getting a bit dark, so will have to do that next weekend as well.

I did check and top up the fluids on both cars, so I've been really busy ::) ;D

Polished one headlight on the 3.2... Made a poor job of it. Not sure why as i've done three other pairs and they've come out fine.

Washed and hoovered it then it started snowing again.  >:(
