68vitesse Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Lovely weather last two days set to continue, Vitesse roof down raring to go and confined to home because of this virus. Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu1ckn1ck Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 You are permitted to take exercise once a day and allowed to drive to a suitable place for a walk. No stipulation as to how long the drive or how short the walk. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I combined the two - weather and exercise - and had a walk behind the lawnmower earlier, since the good weather isn't to last much longer. The ground is still quite soggy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hayden Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Having had my 6 on axle stands for over a month, the day the wheels went on, well that was the day they came off. Frustrating as it is, just think the time we have to get all those little and perhaps larger jobs completed, by the way whens the next show and shine ? My lawn is starting to look the best it has done in years, however I've been advised that 8.30 am isn't an acceptable time to pull the starter on the lawn mover. Talking of acceptability, I have like many other classic owners have been itching to fire up their first, second or third love ( depending how many children and dogs you have of course) but presently I think cruising down the lanes in your classic is like walking down the high street without a biodegradable shopping bag and a bag of pasta under one arm and a packet of toilet rolls under the other. So lets do our bit,disconnect the battery and enjoy the time we can have in the garage without feeling we are neglecting other aspects of our lives. Lets get our cars ready for when the garage doors are lifted and we can see how much difference all the tinkering we have carried out really makes, that is providing the roads haven't been salted ! Remember personal distancing isn't the length of your bonnet. Stay safe and well. Phil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lawn is starting to look the best it has done in years, however I've been advised that 8.30 am isn't an acceptable time to pull the starter on the lawn mover. I often think it must be close to how they felt at the start of WW2, all those cars being pushed into garages and no idea of when or if they'd ever see the road again. (although I suppose the Spitfires DID get out) Round here it's like a grave, no sounds bar the birds and I do feel guilty at starting up the mower and shattering the peace. Even in the garage the music is turned down to a whisper. When it's all over, and things are back to normal - or as normal as they'll get for a time until society recovers - let's have a club-wide Celebration Drive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68vitesse Posted May 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Another lovely day to go shopping in the Vitesse roof down, as a bonus Sainsbury's no queue, Marks no queue, the Range no queue all on same retail park. Easier shopping than before lockdown. Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Truman Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Colin re cutting the grass I used to do it when the Aussie Rules (AFL) football final was on, no one ever complained! Were about to come out of Stage 3 restrictions next week, each state will be different conditions here in Vic we will probably lag behind the others as we've had a little spike we were down to single figure new cases (no deaths recently), but a local meat works of about 70 employees have all tested positive over about a week so were back into the teens for daily new cases. It just goes to show how easy it is to transmit the virus! and for a second round to start. so we must all be diligent and avoid un-necessary contacts. Our small local Trumpy club about 8 of us incl wives contact via Zoom every fortnight, last meeting was for 2 hours, we have our expresso's, chock biscuits and cake just to get the atmosphere.

Bl**dy frost has killed a lot of the new growth on plants. It's worse than the Sahara, sweltering during the day and freezing at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a wimp, I was out in the Mondeo with the air-con on. Great gardening weather tho, all my grass is now cut so I've got time for the garage all the rest of the week. It's to be poor weather later in the week and at the first spit of rain the grass will be two feet higher in seconds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
