I've been very bad. This is the first diary entry for the year. All the stuff below has been pulled together from my desk diary, expenses sheets and articles in Practical Classics magazine. I'm ashamed and have taken holidays to create time to catch up.
Excuses? Well there's my book and website project, some training work I've been busy with and the fact that the Jaguar is being cruelly overlooked as I resort to two wheels. My Triumph uses lots less petrol and my mountain bike keeps me fit(ish).
Total recorded mileage today: 104,191.

Hot and bothered
Thought it was about time I checked the coolant level. It was very low. Checked under bonnet when I arrived at work and saw coolant dripping from the water pump housing. List of cooling system problems: viscous coupling on fan not working so fan doesn't draw; slight crack in top hose joint on radiator; leak from water pump housing; several perished hoses. All this in August. Disgraceful. I must sort this out.

Workshop day
Met the team at the Practical Classics workshop for a photo session. Deputy editor Ben Field took it upon himself to refit the horn that fell off last week. Two bolts holding the bracket to the subframe were particularly awkward. I sort of helped. Ben fitted new connector spades and it works a treat.
