Spitty

Tomorrow is Roger the Spitfire's big day. It is the first day of the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix which means a day of relaxed scoffing and hanging out while the hardy few hurl their race prepared vintage cars around Schenley Park. Unfortunately, Roger the Spitty lost a wing mirror yesterday thanks to my clumsiness in the garage so he will look a bit lop-sided. My chances of winning the Spitfire category (they run a kind of "Miss World" for old cars) are diminished by the fact that Roger seems to have developed some kind of electical fault that involves mucho clicking and complaining when I turn the key followed by (fingers crossed) the engine turning over and starting with a healthy roar (and a faint smell of electrical burning). So.....Lewis and/or Gareth....if you are reading this, a diagnosis would be much appreciated!!!

So...watch this space. Will Roger win the grand prize? Adam and I polished him tonight so at least he is looking his shiny best.
