I am fortunate (?) enough that I have reason to get out the house without interacting with people, being classed as a key worker, though primarily working from home at present. The Capri has been off the road for a few weeks whilst I did a few jobs, but will definitely be seeing use soon. I've never seen the A406 so quiet as the last week!

I have also signed up for the NHS volunteering scheme, driving small parcels, prescriptions etc between hospitals, pharmacies, people's houses etc. Whilst I will primarily use the 'daily' car for this, I am sure at some point the Capri may come in useful - 40 year old car delivering OAPs prescriptions in North London, might raise a few eyebrows!

Good man, go for it! On a similar note, doing a few bits to my car today, changing the oil etc then I’m going to take it for a little spin! Be rude not to.
