So, it was Mothers' day today... which in our family means that it's the McLeans Bridge classic car show. I'm allowed to go every second year The folks had been invited to lunch so they didn't come this time.

Smash and I did our usual thing of owning an Alfa, being in the Alfa club but hanging with the Lotus mob. Good turn out from both clubs about ten Alfas and around twenty Lotuses (what is the plural for "Lotus" anyway? ), including a new Europa, so apparently they are actually selling.

Nothing too much to report, no new cars there that I've not posted photos of before but it was a good excuse to get some much needed work done on the Alfetta. Gave her a wash, polish and wax as well as taking a look at those wheel bearings I mentioned a journal or so back. Turns out the play in the front offside bearing wasn't in fact the race, but the two screws that hold the hub onto the brake disk coming slightly loose, easy fix, the bearing itself was rock solid. Also checked the driver's side front bearing which had some play in it. Only needed a quick nudge round to the next pin hole to get it running true again. It's amazing what such a small change can make though as the Alfetta feels a lot more responsive in the front end now. Anyways, touch wood I won't have to look at those for a goodly long time now.


As a matter of interest: has anyone else been having trouble accessing scraps and the like? I've been having trouble for awhile. Can't get into scraps or past the first page of anyones' galleries. All I get is either a gallery page with nothing in it or a whole heap of unloaded thumbnails with no links attached.


And why "Last Hurrah"? Because I've now got four assignments to do and three weeks to do them in. So syonara social life and hello old and true friends coffee and Red Bull.

...I'm not addicted to Caffine, I just need it to survive...
