Hi Folks....

This is weird, and a bit scary.....

As mentioned on a previous post, I now have VIN 16327 back on the road, and today I had my first chance to take my adopted son out for a bit of a ride around.

I promised some of the boys at work I would show them the car, as i've now been working there 18 months, so I took a few pictures around the Celtic Manor Resort while I was there.

The idea was to give the car a bit of a run with that injector cleaner I had put in the tank... I have also changed the check valve on the fuel pump to maybe resolve my new hot start issue..... that's a different matter. Car is running better, but not 100% cured. Maybe a longer run?

Anyway, after doing the pictures, on my way home I decided to park the car in a place where I did in my first weekend of ownership some 10 years ago.....

And it wasn't until I got home, uploaded the pictures, and put them together.....

2006......

Ok, The number plates are different, as BLM2Y used to be FLE 371Y, and was for about 1 month of my ownership.

Then I noticed the time on the clocks.....

I have to say, hand on heart, I never purposely went there about the same time just to take this picture at the same time as the first...
My initial thought was that maybe the clock has been broken and stuck for some years.... (That's ironic in itself!)

However, I checked the time the image was taken, and it appears it was the correct time.....

I understand many of you may think "yeah yeah"...... But seriously, I can solemnly swear that I had to look twice myself!

Anyway, enjoy the other images!
