Ashtead's Journal: We interrupt the programming to announce:

The old car is finally off to get its paint job this morning. How long ago is it that I was talking about doing this, now? Well, eventually I get around to turn things around, eventually. Expect it back by early next week, it is only the front right fender after all.

Next will be polishing and the roadworthiness approval test, which is due by the end of October, and then during the winter sometime, I'll get around to fix the gearbox, which is making ugly noises. Wheels turning slow indeed.
