Its been a while since the last update and Fester had been tucked away for the winter but back at the start of May he came out for his last ever MOT;

As it should it passed with flying colours.
Since the MOt we have been down to the Stirling and district classic car show at Bridge of Allen;

This brought up a small issue. After around one hour on the motorway there was a small missfire developing. Pulled over and nothing was hot but wouldnt re-start (I think it was flooding). Waited 5 minutes and it started fine and pulled back on the motorway and up to 60mph with no problem. Whats weirder is it did exactly the same on the way home. I will get to the bottom of this and have started with fitting an electronic ignition module so we will see how that goes.
I also ran through the front brakes (shoes, cylinders, springs) and there will be a video of this to follow.
Taking the car to the Volksfling show in Biggar this Sunday so if you are in the area drop by.
Dave.
