Fitted new Optima battery - wrong size but made a wooden spacer to fit. Dropped washer bottle and broke right-angled pipe connector that passed through the bottle lid.
Burned the inside of my mouth with concentrated screenwash trying to fashion makeshift pipe connector. Abandoned job in disgust. Mouth sore.
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.
