2 years ago, I went on a track weekend in Nantes in convoy with a great friend who had terminal cancer. I was in the IB, he was in his 997 which I now own. We departed Nantes for Calais at 5am on a Sunday and gave it big beans the whole way. 2 months later, cancer got the better of him. On the very morning of his death, his widow and I both received 5 fines each - exactly the same cameras and exactly the same speeds. It was VERY expensive but one of the best runs I’ve ever had. At his funeral, his sister went through the alphabet to paint picture of him. ‘S’ was ‘Speeding with Sam’. I am wierdly fond of French speeding tickets...

Michelin Alpins. 195/65 R15. Dated week 9, 2012. Barely used, with loads of tread. Grubby, but would clean up well. Collection from either S Derbyshire or near Cheltenham. £100.

Nothing special - we have a couple of old Bantams which are fun for charging around on.

NJP - I think I want to keep 1 x cylinder mower and that’ll be the Suffolk Punch. Have just seen a nice reconditioned one one eBay for £400 - quite expensive! But many thanks for your interest. Sam

Was summoned by my Mum this weekend to start sorting through my Dad’s various sheds and garages. The poor chap has bad Parkinson’s Disease and is not able to do much for himself anymore. He’s had some amazing cars in his lifetime - Rolls Phantom 1, Invicta 3L Low Chassis, Maserati Sebring, Aston DB Mk3 and numerous E Types, Healeys etc. Sadly, these are long gone, less the trusty MGC... Anyway, thought you might enjoy a few pics of some of the other treasure that I unearthed. Don’t really know where to start with it all, but have just placed a sandblaster and 2 welders in the For Sale section. And do get in touch if you desperately need any classic lawnmowers... Sam

Few more pics, as requested. No idea if it’s Brooklands Green. I just thought standard BRG. My uncle bought her in 1980, so in the family for many years. Much spent on performance and handling. A pleasant thing...

A couple of days late, but I polished my MGC and barbecued a leg of lamb. Loved every minute...
-
Yup, got it. I’m ready for the challenge. Although all I do is make tea and encouraging noises. We have people lined up for when studs break and all that. Easy peasy. Famous last words. Will report back in due course...

Yes re next level. But I have befriended an excellent local mechanic who lets me use his workshop at weekends. And he’s doing the exhaust with me. He has worked on IBs before. Result...

Oil service successfully done. Thanks all for the pointers. Really enjoyed doing some spannering, and saving some money at the same time. Next job - replace the exhaust system!!!
