Went out for a fun trip to a UK kitcar club member. He lives out in Kent in the back of beyond and it was a great drive; nice roads, lovely weather.
His address said it was a 'cottage' - Holy Cow, that's an under-statement. A beautiful house, several acres of grounds and it's own fishing lake - that's not the cottages I know about!
About 5 members of the club turned up although I was the only one in a kit; the house owner has an old Robin Hood in his garage that needs a major restore and 2 others were in the same boat. The Porsche 944 in the pic below was the guy's other fun car, the Jag belonged to the old guy who had donated the wreck of a Robin Hood:
I had a great drive there and back but my next job is now the alternator wiring; I rarely get over 13.6v out of it and that probably is because of the earth. The alternator earths through it's mounting clamp and the engine and when I originally fitted that on, I had to strip the powder coat off the mounting face. However, it's very possible that has either rusted or has got dirt in it (see, learning from last week's temp gauge fiasco), so I need to just take it off and see if I can clean that up.
