          Not so much progress as a report on Vikki's condition - She's not very well at the moment, having had an averse reaction to a diesel spill:



          I'm still hoping to get her to Stoneliegh, as long as Marlin can come up with the parts in time.

            Ouch. Pleased that nothing more serious took place and that nobody was hurt (apart from pride, but you got that back from the constabulary).

                          All set for Stoneleigh!

                          MOT passed, on the second attempt. Failed on a perished ball joint cover, so after a Le Mans style strip down of the front end and replacement of said cover, I got retested 30mins later and she's now road legal again.

                              It's called Black Cherry - It's a Jaguar colour.

                              It's black, with a subtle red flake in it. It's only in the sun that you can see the red come through, otherwise it looks black.
