Preparation

Thursday 7th

Spent some time working on the '62 Spitfire4 to ensure reliable roadworthiness...or at the least, as reliable as Lucas and Triumph will allow. Having put a little over 200mi on the car during Monterey Car Week, I'm confident she'll do fine, but the prep work never ends.

On the list of to-do's:

- Change & fill transmission fluid
- Change and fill differential fluid
- Check trunnions and suspension for abnormal wear
- Bleed, check and fill brake and clutch fluids
- Check for faulty grounds - yes, this is a thing. Thank you, Lucas!
- Source scissor jack and tools, because changing a tire without them is hard.
- Always check oil (even though it has less than 300mi on the current fluid)
- Check tire pressure and lug nuts
- Check fuel lines and in-line fuel filters

Eighteen days and counting. 

Getting behind the wheel for The Distinguished Gentleman's Drive

Friday 25th On Sunday, September 24th 2023, I'll be taking part in The Distinguished Gentleman's Drive. Together with thousands of classic car enthusiasts around the world, I will be raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health for the charity, Movember.

Before the dapper day, I'll be looking to raise as much as possible for the cause, to help men around the world live happier and healthier lives. With men's chances of developing prostate cancer later in life increasing, and one man dying every minute by suicide, we must do all we can to prevent more men from suffering.

This is something that affects us all and together, we can make a change. Please give what you can.
