As we've finally had some decent weather, it's been good to get out and about in the tangfastic mobile, it's certainly getting more interest orange than it did red.

It was a lovely day yesterday, and the sunset was just spot on :D

Think these are, so far, my 2 favourite photos of it.

Is that the sun or glare from your orange paint? ;)

I thought it was nice of the sun to be the same colour as the car. :D

Well not much has been done with the old girl, I still need to get around to repainting the roof, well at least applying a couple more coats of the stuff. It just works when required, more than the new Mondeo arrival does, but we're working on that. It's been tucked up in the garage since Wheels Festival the other weekend, had planned to go out today, but the wife wasn't well, so ended up on dinner duties. I have had a nice addition arrive in the post recently, that a friend did for me (and he'll take commissions too ;) )

If you watch Good Morning Britain, you may have spotted it sneaking into view a couple of times the other Friday,

And it was spotted by the competition too ;)

Time for a deep breath and say over and over "i love my car" then get annoyed and put the kettle on.
