because you can never get the 10th one done up  Curious... why is it called a '9 stud hood' when there are actually 10 studs in the photo??

Beautiful sunny and cold in Yorkshire...had a day off from cycling and had a drive over to the Yorkshire Coast in the P4SS..still got hard top on and love driving it in this cosy cockpit
Dropped into Filey for some dressed crab so I can honestly say:

Get your cars out and about...the engine loved the cold air and a good spirited drive.

Yesterday was perfect for a drive here in the states. 53° F. Unfortunately I found the battery was dead. Left it on the charger over night and giving it another try this afternoon when it's 56° F! Whats that in degs centigrade ?  Now, now! We’re international on here and cater for all, but I know what you mean, Fahrenheit has never calibrated in my mind, I watched a movie lately called ‘6 bellow’, true story about a snowboarder lost in the mountains, thought at the time , “ big deal, 6 below is still tee shirt weather here” Ok, ok. Fired up just fine on Monday. Took a spin around the neighborhood as it was sunny and 56°...sorry....13.3°. I just can't wrap my head around temps in C. I'm just fine with meters and grams. Being used to everything we do and say here, I like reading posts to get the British spin on things. Though I have no idea why you need to write bu66er this way.  I did notice the radiator is leaking near the top. As the weather is deteriorating again, now's the Time to pull it out and do a little brazing.

Very crisp 5C but sunny trip over Dartmoor to meet up with a pal for a Devon Cream Tea and back via Brixham to pick up some Scallops for tea from a free diving mate.
A perfect day with the V8 burbling away and lots of smiles and waves, it's nice to share our toys.
I was the only topless one today out there.

Must be an age thing, I'm the other way around. Yes I can work Centigrade, but think in F. My lady friend (5 years younger than I) always asks me to re-calculate into deg C...

Nice to see Alan Foster's Plus 8 in pride of place in your photo Steve! You cold always come and visit my snowdrops, but they wouldn't be as impressive as a country house lawn full. Very crisp 5C ...
I was the only topless one today out there. Good grief, no shirt/jacket in that temperature?

Yep hail is not good news. Even my woolly hat is no protection.
