Last week saw Milly have some mechanical bits fiddled with underneath, her new wheels balanced and rear brakes adjusted. Steve G was made to sweat again as Milly continued to prove to be a stubborn old girl. This week she had new front discs and pads, her bladder problem sorted (again!), fog light connected and two battery level indicators fitted. All in all a good week. Oh ! And she has now been lowered at the front end by about 40 mm, with the help of a huge spanner attached to a 2 metre scaffold pole to create the right leverage to undo the torsion bar nuts. This made Steve sweat again!
We took Milly in to show Steve G at work the results of his labours from last night and he immediately got the steam cleaner out to remove the seagull poo from her body. So now she really looks like a sexy lady with those new shiny alloys, a wash and brush up.
We hooked up with Vicki from Volunteering in Health in Teignmouth, our local charity. We are supporting The Memory Cafe, a part of this charity, as well as Julia's House in Dorset. We showed her round Milly and she was very impressed, as were her two colleagues. They have given us some raffle prizes towards our Race Night on 11th May. We collected some other raffle prizes from our area and got a new chicken feeder for our hens while we are away on the Windy. I did want to take one with us for fresh eggs but I think the smell of chicken farts would be too much for Lucy !
When we have a few more bits of bling finished on Milly there will be some photos.
