Talking O'Brother

I took her on the road.
Phase 1 is completed. I registered her yesterday (why I have to pay so much in taxes and duties for registering a car I have owned for 20+ years?) ... anyhow:
1. Got new tires.
2. Got all lights and other essential electrical working.
3. Changed oil and filter. (Made a mess, old filter refused to come off, had to stab it with a screwdriver.)
So, after a break of 15 years I fastened the seat belt, switched her on first gear and headed out.
What a joy! I was completely forgotten these cars are so much fun to drive. Well, there is some spark plugs or injectors issue, when this gets sorted it will be even more fun!
P.S. Couldn't take a long ride, insurance is still pending, don't tell anyone I drove it today.
