Back in the Field of Dreams

The weekend just gone marked the first anniversary of the muddy spectacle that was Shitefest 2016, and it was appropriately celebrated by being back in Chris and Claire's Field of Dreams. This year's official Shitefest took place at the beginning of the month at the Bubble Car Museum in Lincolnshire, but Chris decided to hold another open day in the field for visiting Autoshite members. So it was that another small group of shiters convened on Sunday for more tinkering, visiting cars this time including a beautiful Fiat X1/9 and a smart K-reg Astra diesel estate.

Tiddly Truck is alive!

...plus more Citroening

The weekend I recently spent with Chris and Claire wasn't all about the Oltcit, but seeing that was a reward for a successful day's work in the field of dreams. You'll probably remember the Tiddly Truck and our failure to get it running on the two previous occasions, but we weren't prepared to give up on it so the main purpose of our visit was to have another go at this. I can report some good news: it may have taken three attempts and a lot of tinkering, but it is now alive and moving under its own power at last!

This is how we left the Tiddly Truck last time. Getting closer but still not running.
