Yes!
After a week of using the Maestro, which was alternating between running brilliantly and being a total arse, this happened on Saturday
Some boring idling issues and being stuck in traffic made it boil over a couple of times, but I borrowed some tools from a passing Daimler Ferret scout car (really) and managed to get it back to sort-of normalish enough to get home. I parked it up and decided to concentrate on getting the Standard sorted so I wouldn't have to worry about it not getting me to work. I enlisted some helpers and spend the next 8 hours upside-down caked in grease getting the old broken spring off and the new one in, swapping over the bushes from the old spring which were surprisingly perfect. The more I see of the car the more obvious it is that it has been incredibly well looked after in its life.
This was the scene somewhere in the middle of the day. Note the three most important tools there, some fags, a cup of tea and a bottle of Plusgas
Amazingly, it all went together again and we didn't even have any bolts left over, so we took it for a quick run down to the sea front and back to test that all was well.
Everything seemed fine, so much later that night I set off for London for the Dawn Drive. It did nearly as many miles in one day as it did all last year and didn't miss a beat. As expected, it's enormous fun to bimble about in at town speeds but pretty soul-destroying on the motorway. I never thought I would be happy to see so many 40mph average speed cameras, but they certainly helped level the playing field a little.
I'll be using it for the commute from Wednesday for the first time, so hopefully it will behave itself enough to get me to the office and back, but my confidence in its abilities has rocketed after seeing how well it went cruising through the early morning traffic in central London.
