Washed and polished and put the new stickers on at last,all ready for sunday.Then went and had the tracking checked, it was a country mile out. It took two big fellas and alot of heat to undo the trackrod ends, glad I wasnt doing it. Rides and drives much better as a result. :D

Picked up 5 litres of waxoil with the intention of doing the whole car. and the bits I cant get to while the tank is off.

Picked up a second hand tank guard, in reasonable condition, definitely better then my current one. Cost £20. Il give it some added strength with lashings of Hammerite tomorrow ;-) . Thanks to Yakatar who picked it up for me from the breakers as I wasnt able to get there before they closed.

Got some flat metal bar on the way for the tank straps.

Then stick it in for a quick MOT. Fingers crossed.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!
