Screening process

 Time to fix my windscreen; did I mention that the screw holding the main frame to the bottom cross bar has failed on the passenger side (I'd already fixed the same issue on the drivers side a while back)?

Not a huge problem and fix; a strip of ally in a boomerang shape, slit in the rubber, bend the strip round, drill a few holes and whack in some self-tappers - job done:

Pretty damn horrible, even worse than the drivers side but does the job.

To make up for the ugliness, I fitted the excellent 3D-printed grill badge Tony made for me:

Now that is more like it!

Also, the new cap on my header tank seems to have fixed the coolant overflow problem, which is a result. I really need to get my temp gauge working....

Bromley Pageant

 After an absence of 3 years, the Pageant was back and the sun was shining, so off I went to join a stand with the SKCC club:

It's a great show this; cars from every era and all types:

Some sort of Jeep-based thing...

Alpine Sunbeam. If I ever sell Zedster, this may be my next purchase.

Renault Gordini - strangely butch but you should have seen the panel gaps!

Visible from space...

I never knew they did Capri convertibles...good looking...

This 1984 Escort was totally original and by that I mean a total wreck. But I remember a chaotic drive from Manchester to London with my family in a hired one of these. At the time, it was luxury to us!

My 2nd ever car - Golf GTi Mk2, the first car I had driven that could actually accelerate uphill!

When is an Alra Romeo Montreal not worth photographing?

Lots of stalls including a very nice doughnut place. And I met someone famous:

Not quite sure what he was doing there (they were filming) but a nice guy. I didn't have the heart to tell him I don't actually like his presenting style but hey, a brush with fame...and I was happy as well (boom, boom).

While there, Matt suggested my overflowing coolant may be a failed pressure cap on the header tank, so I've ordered a new cap (I think it is the right one) and for £7, worth a shot.

All in, a great day out...
