Rain, rain go away...

This weekend we are making the 400+ mile round trip up to Scotland to visit Tom's mum. Original plan was to take the van then camp on the Saturday night after a day of biking.

*UPDATE* First trip to garage has some interesting news. Small oil leak was hitting the cam belt, so if not treated could degrade the rubber. Upside - no damage yet. Downside - no van this weekend so we will be in the trusty Ibiza. Due to be fixed next week :)

Sadly this picture sums up the weather forecast.

I cycled home in this.

So instead Dougie is in the garage today. Apparently his arrival and subsequent parking on my road has caused quite a stir with the Oakmere Close residents. Offers of help/advice/DVDs have been appearing left, right and centre. In particular is the guy at the bottom of the road who no only has his own garage, but has also restored a number of T3's in his time. So Dougie is off for a bit of a health check before the winter. Fingers crossed it's just going to be the bits I've already spotted :-P Also going to get that slight oil leak checked otherwise the driveway is going to start looking really bad.
