Back on the road

The car has not really be ran since 2019 and has been parked in the garage on a SORN. I've been putting off a few jobs that I knew the car needed before she would get an MOT.

Given how long the car had been laid up, I thought these jobs were going to be a PITA, they were actually quite easy. So after a few days on and off in the garage, a liberal squirt of lube into the bores, with some fresh petrol and a new battery, she fired up without any issues.

So today was all about the MOT and a good clean. She ran there and back with hardly any issues and passed the MOT.

So roll on 1st, so we can slap some road tax on and go for a few runs around the Rotherham and Sheffield area.

Give me a wave if you see me out.

Glad it was easy to sort and get back on the road. Enjoy!

I’ve been through the same process of returning my car to the road after 8-9 years!

It was great to get out and about in the recent sunshine
