Wow! I didn't realise it had been so long since I last updated my profile!
My lude was stood in works car park for ages, I thought months but it's actually been well over a year! The main reason the lude was at work was because we had 2 other cars on the drive already and were trying to sell our house. Anyway, we sold the house in January and bought a new one shortly after, so I taxed the lude with the intention of using her as soon as we finished the move... but it turned out we couldn't move in til June!
Anyway, we eventually moved in at the end of June so it was time to finally bring the lude home - to her new home in a nice warm garage... however, my garage became a dumping ground for everything that didn't make it into the house straight away (pretty much everything from the loft & shed, plus other stuff we needed to sort through and unpack) - six months on and it is getting there but still not empty enough to get the lude in.
Considering the tax runs out at the end of the month, I figured it was about time I brought her home - garage or not. So, Wednesday night I decided to drive the lude home... I connected up the battery, popped a bit of petrol in and fired her up. Started like a dream, and it was my best drive home in a long time!
I forgot how fun it was to drive!
She's now parked on my drive, but will hopefully be in the garage soon enough.
I wasted about £500 last year on tax and insurance, but it was worth it cos the lude is finally home safe and sound... and that one drive was motivation enough for me to get her all fixed up and back on the road again!
Watch this space!
Rust is starting to get hold of the arches so I neeeed to get it into the garage asap and start work.
its on my to-do list this year. hope you bring this to some shows in the future months
