Turned very wet here now, was out before and the rain was horizontal.

I managed an hour out with the dogs this morning before the rain came, stayed in all day, haven't done a thing on the cars.

Brownie points earned for all the housework I have done though

I got the confused mess of pipes to reach their intended destinations on the 75 this afternoon, anyone who’s had the intake & boost pipes off a 1.8 turbo will know exactly what I mean, got the front end on the car & even managed a small road test, it performed rather well with no obvious leaks up to now, I think there’s still some air trapped in the cooling system so I’ll have to have another go at it. Other than that I’m quite pleased with it. Got a couple of small jobs to do before I can get an mot on it, exhaust needs aligning/securing as it bangs on the tunnel & the old favourite handbrake doesn’t hold........no surprise there then

Good morning all

An early start at 02:00 for the 5 a.m flight tomorrow to London via Addis Ababa. I should be able to make it, weather permitting

What’s everyone up to?

Morning all from very wet Salisbury.

Morning Phil and Bob, morning all

Rain has relented for the moment here but it is still rather windy.

I'm working this morning/afternoon so I think I better take my foul weather gear with me

Morning all, at work this morning taking a coach load to Kielder water. Weather is dry and bright, but had some heavy rain overnight.

Quite pleasant here this morning, I should really go & do a bit more on that rover but I’ve never had a day off for at least 4 weeks. I’m under no pressure to do it because I’m running around in Mother Diesels’ little Skoda & quite enjoying it

but I really should hand it back I suppose

2Diesels · 16th February 2020, 07:59

I love Kielder, it’s a fantastic place

Morning all, what a wild night, The rain has been hammering against the window all night, There's a pool of water at the patio doors going into the conservatory where the wind has forced the rain under the lead flashing & the kitchen windowsill is awash again.

The storm winds are driving the rain through some dodgy mortar joints but that's a job for Mungo Jerry weather.
