Default Spring finally arrived

Since putting my babe away for the winter months, finally the long anticipated reunion took place. My shaking hands slowly removed the cover exposing the most beautiful lines ever created, now in front of me. I touched the wood grain for good luck and turned the key. After sitting for five months, it took only two revolutions and the sound of that V12 came alive. Oh how I missed her dearly and so look forward to enjoying more of beautiful British Columbia together..

Very well written and I'm quite happy for you and your reunion. Makes me look forward even more to the day when it can happen here.

This morning when I checked the temperature I saw that it was 19 degrees (-7 C) outside.

Hi Chris

I've only managed a couple of Trips and then Spring turned into Winter all over again.

Freezing Cold with a chilly wind, which if noting else gave me the chance to play catch up and redecorate the house.

So now I can enjoy a drive without feeling guilty, if that is we get to see some Sunshine.

When I read the thread title, I thought you'd got a delayed parts delivery.

Good to hear your V12 started so easily after its long hibernation and you can soon enjoy driving again now the Winter is over.

I just finished changing the engine. Mine will get insurence next Friday. Advantage of living in BC I guess.
