Mick - Thanks for the kind words.

I know the real problem is my own standards/expectations, as everyone else likes what they see.

Marc - It is really hard to get a decent photo of the problem, but there is a scratched/milky finish on the paint now.



At least the 'survivor' look is more popular in the old car world these days.

Hell's Bells It's Cold Out
Forecast said it was around 3 or 4 degrees when I headed out today, but it felt much colder.

I took my go pro out, so I could get some photos without stopping.

I have to work my way through the built up areas…



Before I finally get onto the open road.





Tried another 'Italian Job' angle.



And finally one 'selfie', where the exposed part of my face is freezing.



Until next time, take care, Paul.

PS
Had a weird passerby this morning who stopped for a chat while I was just starting the car up on my drive.
He said he had taken photos of my car "without wheels" and wanted to know if he could take some more.
English wasn't his first language and, for a Sunday morning, he absolutely stank of drink.
But in the spirit of goodwill, I said just let me pull the car into the road so he could get a better view.
Then, to my surprise, he pulled out a HUGE professional SLR camera and proceeded to click away.
It turns out his previous photos were taken when the car was freshly painted and left uncovered to dry.
( Hence the lack of wheels. )
