MOT passed.
Gained another 12 months ticket today. So I treated the old girl to a oil & filter change.
I had the tracking checked and it was miles out!! Now that it has been properly set up, it is so much nicer to drive.
I noticed some rust on the inner wing seams, so treated it with kurust and applied generous amounts of waxoyl. Whilst it was up on the post lift at Dave Ashworth's I took the opportunity to inspect the underside and I'm pleased to report that time spent last year with the waxoyl has paid dividends, with no signs of corrosion.
As always at Dave's there is a good selection of classic Citroen's to admire, namely a SM sans engine, two very nice series one DS's and Dave let me loose in his recently acquired Xantia Activa, which has been 'chipped'. A very potent tool.
So all in all a very productive day. As Hannibal Smith famously said "I love it when a plan comes together"!

Do I have to join the queue of the great unwashed, seeking divine Tailblazer healing, or can I use the friends and family entrance?

I'll have to sneak you in the back - I'm doing a fresco cycle on the walls and ceiling at the moment; thought it'd promote the right sort of atmosphere.
