long time off the road

[jeff oakley]

I took my Westfield for MOT on Friday, the tester who always does it said "not using it much are you".  It was then he pointed out it was last tested in 2015, so last drive was a trackday in the August of that year.

In my defence I lost both my parents one after the other and then my Father in Law in January of this year, all were ill for a long time, so it was not top of my list.

So today went out in it for a run out and after first 10 or so miles I was thinking how hard it was, how windy how every bump felt like hitting a kerb and then... the road opened and I suddenly remembered why I love these so much.

Ice cream stop with obligatory question from people, although one woman asked if it was a "TT" then coffee stop. A great day. Trackday booked for the 18th, happy days

Glad you've not lost your mojo  i dont think there's any other car that makes people smile, take photos, and talk to you about

Welcome back on the road Jeff. 

Just pop out for the occasional blat. It soon puts things back in perspective.

I feel like that after every winter!

First drive is always a eye opener thinking what do I see in this car,soon get over it though!
