Took mine to local garage to have front wheel bearings replaced, glad I did, apparanty bit of a bother getting them done, but all done now. Gave her a clean inside n out.

Well today, I did not do anything, but Lates600 did to the Connie KV 6 .
It is now equipped with new brake pipes, rear wishbone mounts and a new tear drop fitted.
The ‘bump’ That accompanied the engagement of first gear has now disappeared. No tramlining of the front wheels now thanks to the wishbone bushes. All in all, a satisfying day.Also spoke to a gent from Milton Keynes with a Cowley ‘W’ registered Atlantic Blue 75 who had just had some work done by Lates600.

I washed all of ours, Debs Ztt is in for mot tomorrow, far better to present a clean tidy car.

Drove up to Holt Country park, then back down the coast road. What a lovely way to spend a day. Hetty's carrot cake in the country park tea room is scrummy, especially when washed down with a cup of fresh coffee and all served in a pristine, safe environment!

Had not one but two walks around the park. I'm three inches shorter and two inches wider!

Dropped my ZT off at the garage for it's service. It's the cam belt service so the expensive one. But, I shopped around for insurance yesterday and saved about £100 so that will offset the cost a bit.

Took out the harmony radio to check all the fittings for its Sony replacement. Next job to take out the glovebox cd player as it will no longer be needed. All that gubbins replaced by a memory thumbstick! That's progress I suppose. No player, no discs to store. What am I going to do with all that spare space? Maybe I could buy some gloves to put in the glovebox! Does anybody put gloves in their glovebox? The only gloves I wear are PPE! Now to find out about flac, mp3, lossless downloading etc., etc!

I can't hear half the frequencies anyway due to all the noise damage I've had over the years!

Eh? Pardon?

It seems that my Roy Orbison had been digitised, so there's a start!
