Short trip to Portugal done and dusted. Many 90's cars still being used as daily drivers which makes for excellent car spotting for some bog standard models, many that are a very rare sight in the UK
The rarest car? Definitely the Renault 9 Turbo!

Back in Portugal for a few days and this is my daily steed for the time being, a 1998 built Ford Focus MK1.

New video live on my YouTube channel Gentil's Garage.
My car went for an MOT but before I did a few check.
In this video, I go over a aspects that are covered during the MOT test.
It’s not a comprehensive list of things that will be done during the MOT, but some are simple things that can be done at home and can save time, money and hassle.

Lovely present I got today from Ben @rustytoolselleruk
A pair of planishing hammers in beautiful condition that will help me on the bodywork repairs of my E12.
Four Marks Tools deals essentially with vintage and rare tools, so lookup on their insta page and ebay shop

Exactly 4 years ago, near Lisbon, Portugal, I saw my E12 for the first time since I sold it in 2004. It was in poor shape but I bought it and two months later it arrived on driveway in the UK. The rest is history and the restoration is still going on.

It's a pass for the Focus! Always a good feeling when your car passes an MOT test, but there are a few checks we can do at home to reduce the risk of MOT fail. Video coming soon

New video live on my YouTube channel, Gentil's Garage.
In this video, I'll explain why so many classic BMWs rot in the same area and what you could do to prevent it in the future. Also, I address the jacking point misconception in these cars.
