. I popped into GFS in Swindon. What with Gary's thirst and several more BX to resusitate, once I have finished selling Invalid Carriages and small motor vehicles for surprising prices, high and low 
, I asked for a box of LHM litre bottles. As a sign of things to come they could not do that. However I was allowed to clear the shelf of 7 litres of Total for a very keen discounted price of a smidge over £5 a throw. Not as cheap as the very pleasent trade outlet gent that appears at the rallies 
, but good for a retail outlet. Buying in an emergancy is more like £8 round here, if you can find a stockist. GSF no doubt knowing they can restock in a day, as they are pretty effcient moving things around, were happy to do the deal. I think seeing an older car in use helped, as there was a bit of banter and they recognise me now. Nice place to do bizz, unlike some. Though BX now do seem to stimulate chat from folk who recognise them as something different. Not unusual to be stopped filling fuel or in the street by people asking about the car. This did not happen last year. Is it the media and show coverage having an effect
?On the negative side Gary is now grumbling. The clutch cable to be specific, never a good thing
. Now I ask myself if this itermittant clutch slip, now worse, is down to a duff cable and poor return spring/leverage issue. When not riding depressed or slipping its clutch this car goes really well now. My only critism is the poor turn in, but that is a product of the tyres I fitted, so my own fault 
. A frustrating car as I never get time to chase out the little faults waiting to get bigger 
. But it is my fault, not the cars, as it has been maltreated in the past nd I never chased out all the issues 
.
