Good evening everyone 😊

I just wanted to share a few more photos of Auntie No!!! and some thoughts that have been on my mind lately.

When I bought this car, I genuinely thought it would be a fairly straightforward project. A bit of tinkering, a few repairs, and back on the road. How wrong I was!

It’s incredible how many stories, surprises, and hidden problems an old car can keep tucked away for decades. Whether through neglect, age, or simply because previous owners did what they could at the time, every part seems to reveal another little secret.

Yet, with every bolt I remove, every component I clean, repair, or replace, I feel like Auntie No!!! becomes a little bit better than she was before. There is something incredibly satisfying about knowing that a part now works as it should, that a mechanism moves freely again, or that the car is just that little bit closer to being back on the road.

Perhaps what makes it even more special is that this is my own project. Every improvement feels personal. Every challenge teaches me something new. And with each step forward, I can feel that first proper drive getting closer.

What surprises me most is that this journey started only a few months ago. When I first began working alongside Colin on classic cars, I never imagined I would develop the ambition to take on a project of my own. Of course, I couldn’t have got this far without his help and guidance. What I thought would be simple has often turned out to be far more complicated than expected!

Still, I have to admit that I’m living a bit of a dream at the moment. Right now, my focus is simply on getting Auntie roadworthy and enjoying that first drive. But this project has opened a door I never expected to walk through, and I have a feeling it won’t be the last adventure of this kind.

For now, though, one step at a time. Let’s get Auntie No!!! back where she belongs: on the road. 😊🚗
