No, Murray’s not finally getting dapper – he’s found something growing in his MX-5.
Apologies about the multiple Murrays in the picture above. It’s supposed to show how busy I’ve been with my car of late – which may come as a bit of a surprise for regular readers.
It should also be used as real-life advertisement for using videos on YouTube as learning tools. Even someone as ham-fisted and as clumsy as me learnt how to Photoshop various Murrays into the same frame – and in less than 10 minutes.
Meanwhile my MX-5’s been awoken from its winter hibernation. Unhelpfully, I’ve lost my indoor storage space, so throughout winter it’s been kept in the office car park. It’s not glamorous, but it’s got plenty of other cars for company, and at least it’s been under a cover.
