Finally seen some sunshine when I haven't been working,
Took the Tig for a run to blow the cobwebs off, did about 75 miles gave up then as the sun had fooled me into thinking a fleece would be warm enough !

was out aswell today in the North Wales area and yes it was cold but the heated seats and proper windscreen helped!!
roads were really quiet considering the weather too, only got stuck behind one car all afternoon, in fact most of the time seemed to be the only car on the road although on the way home ended up behind one of those new 4 door Aston Martins(first one i've seen) they sound really good on acceleration.
when are WE going to start getting out again folks?

It's always a good idea to throw your helmet in the passenger footwell/behind your seat just in case.I used to put mine behind the passenger seat as it was easier to reach with the full harness on, also mine was one where the whole front lifted not just the visor as it meant at junctions i could flip it up and get a much better view.
Anyway glad your now back on the road.
What was Race Retro like i've read on another site it wasn't as good this year?

The overall show was good as ever but quite a few of the cars listed for the rally stage didn't seem to be there
