I'd rang Herts & Beds Transmission on Friday to see if my Zetec Cortina was finished and ready for collection and Ian confirmed that it was. So, I persuaded a guy from work (Adam) to run me up there to collect it.
Adam picked me up from my house at 5.45am and we got on the road straightaway. We decided to leave early as the predicted heatwave would have lots and lots of traffic heading to the seaside at Southend and we wanted to get back before the traffic got too stupid.
We arrived at Baldock at around 7.15 after a quick coffee in the services and after a quick chat with Ian, we collected the car and headed home. The Cortina drove well and I had great fun in the tunnels. It makes a fantastic noise! 😊
We arrived at mine just after 9am and then decided to go for breakfast in the Oakwood pub. It had been a good morning and we had avoided the traffic.
Adam left shortly after breakfast and I decided to wash the car as it was covered in dust from being in the workshop all week. It really is a great car and a pleasure to drive. My only remaining job on it now is to get the oil pressure gauge working and then it's pretty much finished.
