Bailing Out
Apologies, thinks have been quite hectic here for me, so this is going back a bit…
1st August
The day after I got home from Goodwood in the rain.
Left the covers out to dry.
At which point a dirty black cloud appeared overhead.
Thankfully, it kept on moving and I could start mopping up the inside of the cabin.
Unfortunately, some ends of the seat belts ended up sitting in the water under the seats!
Not a very good guide to how much water was in there, but it was quite a bit!
But the truly gutting thing is I have clearly messed up the paintwork completely!
(Not a great photo of the blotches on the bonnet.)
I took the car out again a few weeks later.
And the blotches were still there, so I will have to do ‘something’ about that ‘sometime’ in the future.
No photos, but I took my brother-in-law out for a spin when he came to visit recently.
As with every journey, he couldn’t believe the positive reaction the car gets.
(Regardless of how bad the paint work is.)
Cheers, Paul.
