Spring has sprung!!

Well, after the 4 month winter lay-up, it was time for a spring clean! So out with the jet wash for the first clean since I bought it back in November and, I suspect, for the first time in several years.

Luckily, as I've been prodding the brake pedal every time I've been, the brakes didn't bind at all after the months of inactivity which was a massive bonus! So, 326 was moved easily and quickly outside. Then, a good blast of the roof, body and underneath with a bit of Morris Cadence Traffic Film Remover which seemed to work pretty well when fed through the pressure washer with a rotary brush attachment.

That done and with the tyres pumped up, there was more than enough daylight left for a quick spin, so a couple of runs around the back roads clocking up another 10 miles or so. No problems whatsoever - battery charges, all the lights work etc. And, the opportunity for a few pictures of the gleaming 326 in the late afternoon sunshine! Then, back to bed in the barn, though not before I popped a few drops of oil into the two-tone horn compressor and - hey presto - they work!!

That done - time for home, though not before I had to borrow a battery charger as I'd deadened the battery on the MG by using the compressor....

A great day, all in all. Roll on summer and a few shows!
