My Wolseley 4/50 emerges from hibernation!

After 4 long months of being trapped in it's garage, the new extension & kitchen are complete, the builders have gone, their skip has been taken away from in front of the garage doors, & the 4/50 can emerge blinking & VERY dusty into the April sun for a good wash & checkover!  Unfortunately it wasn't quite in time for 'Drive It Day', but I hope you managed to join your fellow classic car enthusiasts on the road last Sunday.
A drive round the block shows that everything appears to be in fine fettle, as I did carry out a service just before its incarceration, but inevitably it feels like one of the front brake cylinders is a bit sticky.  Hopefully a bit of use will free it up, otherwise it's off with that brake drum to have a look.  I'm now looking forward to getting it out on the road, and to our next local pub meet on Thursday 7th May.
Best wishes, & Happy Motoring,

DRIVE-IT-DAY 26TH APRIL 2015

Spring must really be here, as 'Drive it Day' is just around the corner on Sunday 26th April, so this is definitely the time to be giving your classic a spruce up & check over, & get out & about in it on the 26th to show just how many classic cars there are on the road in the UK.  Let's hope for some proper Spring-like weather to encourage us all out.
Best wishes,
Pat Carroll
