Honey, I'm home!
As always, there was a nice collection of cars in Enginuity when I went to collect my car.



Including this Trident Venturer.



But their Instagram account gives you a much better idea of how packed their workshop was.
( The Daimler 250 was particularly nice. )

Actually, my car made their Instagram page too.

Despite the cold, the car ran really smoothly on the short(ish) journey home.
( Unlike the bag of nails it was when I took Mister Towed for a spin. )

The garage replaced countless oil seals and gaskets and repaired a number of stripped threads.
( Which should mean that everything is now joined together tightly the way it is supposed to be. )

Also, a closer inspection of the carbs revealed this bent needle, complete with mole grip marks.
( Not a great photo, but hopefully you get the general idea. )



Thankfully, all the roads were clear of snow with the exception on my own driveway.
( Which spends most of the Winter months in the shade. )



I took it very gingerly parking and aimed high up the slope just incase the car started to lose grip.
( As I had a real fear that the car would simply slide gently down the slope into the side of the house! )

My wife and I were heading out shortly after I got back, so no chance to check the headrests, etc.

So until next time, take care, Paul.
