Starting up the Nova today, first time since Billing.
Went out for a drive up to Matlock Bath in the Spider. Weather was great so had the roof down. Parked up on the front where all the bikes park, god knows how but I managed to get a space straight away.
It attracted a bit of attention from passers by
Carried on over to Ashbourne on some great roads and stopped at a nice pub with the wife for lunch. Got back to the car and it would not startI think the starter is duff. Luckily I had parked at the top of the carpark so stuck it in reverse, rolled it back down the hill and bump started it
Go it home OK to find a guy parked on the front in a VXR8 with £400 in his pocket for my spare front splitter left over from when I had the 888![]()
