First day back at work today after a week's holiday. The car has stood for well over a week and seen some rain. Faint deposits of Dinitrol from inside the doors have streaked the sills where the rain has run from the drain holes.
Electric clock has kept perfect time. Turn the key and listen for the ticking of the fuel pump. Turn again and it starts first time, instantaneous. Runs sweet as a nut.I shouldn't be surprised, really, but I am pleased.
THIS IS the story of life with a classic car. I drive a 1972 Jaguar XJ6 and write about it here. I'm Martyn Moore, former editor of Classic Cars magazine. This is a two-year story about the roller coaster ride of classic car ownership. The most recent entries come from a classic car rally in 2005, the last journey I made in the car before putting it into storage. Use links on the right for earlier entries.
