19 years old and still outsmarting the gremlins!

After 18 months of sitting at the back of a shed near Heathrow, she is finally back on the road!

MOT passed without any faults, well apart from a little niggle where she wouldn't run without a bit of choke. All she needs is a good run and some of Shells finest V-Power or whatever it's called nowadays to clean her out!

And today, she finally got a small run out. I needed to drop some paperwork up to Selfridges for work, so what better way to go up west than with a shouty Monster! After a quick lunch break at the Ace, then a nice rattle through Acton to get out to Notting Hill and Holland Park, before finally getting the Marble Arch and finding a parking spot. She performed well. The clutch did slip a bit, so she is requiring a clean out, or I might just say sod it and buy a new set of plates.

All in all, she is back on the road. After shouting her way round Westfield shopping centres car park, and getting back to the shed near Heathrow, she started running a lot smoother.

There is still a few more jobs to do, but she'll be finished one day!
