changing names without deed poll.

No, no. Not us changing names or anything - I'm not getting divorced! Although perhaps given the nature of these photos I should be. Ahem.

 

Spouse has been spending every spare minute of his free time working on Ming the Mini. He freely admits

 

"I f**ked up on this one, wife,"

 

since this was supposed to be a minimal restoration project ready for racing at the end of April. Every last thing that could go wrong? Has.

 

Every. Last. Thing.

 

He's done a ton of welding (new wings - inside and out - and entire floor!) and lots of electrical issues and things breaking and a new boot lid. But every so often we get a wee giggle from the wee car.

 

Can you see that funny little collar on the indicator stalk? Right down where it meets the steering column is a little ring of metal. Further investigation...

...showed us this. It says "lucky."

Lucky?

LUCKY?!?!

We don't know what it is. Well, we do. It's a metal ring with "lucky" stamped on it - oh, the irony! So wee Ming has been re-christened. There's some debate about whether he's had a sex change, too. I think he's a girl. But he/she is about to rise like a phoenix from the ashes. Hear her roar!



Spouse also had to turn her round last night. I expected a 42 point turn in the drive. But he got excited and ran round the cul-de-sac over the road. Eejit. This is a very dark video. But, y'know, it's at night and his car has no light. Or bonnet. Or doors. Or a seat - he's sitting on an upturned basin.



And once again? Eejit. He's happy though!
