:) Now I leave the socket against the wheel so I don't forget......

That's a much better method than mine. I tend to do about 15 miles on the freeway and then suddenly remember and pull off onto the shoulder to tighten them.

Mine is stuck in the garage at the moment. The starter died a slow and intermittent death, so I replaced it with a new gear-reduction starter. Wow that thing really spins the engine. But go figure, it won't start the engine and so I can't spin my wheels. You can't start a fire without a spark and I don't think I have any. Where there's smoke, there's fire or maybe a dead ignition coil. My ignition coil emitted a small plume of smoke. I say "maybe dead" because I just haven't found the time to figure things out. Oh well all in good time, which might be Friday.

I think I killed this thread, so I'll try again.
From my front door today-

No, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight I think I should have waited until Spring when everyone was wheeling their cars out for the summer and bouncing with enthusiasm rather than heading into winter.
But here's us today, a lovely sunny Lincolnshire morning and parked in our village next to the church. As I explained to Helen, I had to take the Europa because I'd filled the windscreen washers and it's important to road test everything you do on these old cars...... ;)

Just joined the forum and seen this post so thought I would pop outside in the rain and take a picture of my Europa
I brought my car a few years ago with a rottern chassis and engine in bits and did all the work myself.
I drive my Europa most days, the picture is taken in the car park at my work in Northamptionshire England
