I had to visit my mate Ken Last night to glue some brake linings on the brake shoes for my steam roller, on the basis he had the glue.

Given it was a superb evening, and I now have a fully roadworthy chummy, what better vehicle to use?.

Wow. I guess from looking at those that Steamroller MOTs are terribly important in hilly areas...

Lovely Chummy Hedd and it looks like the door trim is original, which is nice.

Used the fabric saloon today to visit our other garage and test the repaired ammeter.
Ammeter working well. I checked it with my multimeter on 20Amp range. Fitted it in the lead that feeds the power to the switch panel (NOT the main battery lead!). The ammeter is reading a bit low but the current is actually 3A/6A in low/high charge. Very pleased that it's working.

Ivor, its a car I bought from a forum member as a result of a wanted ad on here. 

As soon as I set eyes on it I knew It was what I wanted, and the more I looked the more I had to have it. 

Its an older restoration (judging from the tax disks 1978), and getting tatty here and there, but is almost totally unmolested (save the indicators!).  

I have had to do a few jobs as it had reportedly not been on the road for a few years, but I have to say I am delighted with it.

Andy, we keep some strange company. You are parked next to a serious looking rally Escort. As Saturday's nav rally was an MGCC event we found ourselves competing against a 1989 MG Metro Turbo, also in rally spec with full roll cage etc. As long as we are all having fun!

There was a good variety from a rusty Mobylette moped to some seriously powerful road going dragsters.
It was a ticket only do[free]so it was a lot of motoring nerds talking about there hobby.
The museum wasn't  open but the staff were driving around on an Albion and Thornycroft both early cars but quite different.
