We have been starting her up at least once a week, sometimes more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Christmas Day she spent an hour in the pleasant sunshine, giving rides to some members of our family who were seeing Lizzie for the first time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Saturday following Christmas was the monthly breakfast meet of the Usk Valley Classic Car Club. Several classic cars in attendance including Lizzie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0092.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0092.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0092-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0092-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><figcaption>As always a fine collection of classic vehicles attended the meeting at Llandegfedd Reservoir.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0088.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0088.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0088-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSC_0088-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><figcaption>The low down angle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20191228_101728.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20191228_101728.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20191228_101728-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lizzie-the-anglia.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/20191228_101728-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><figcaption>I could not resist a black and white filter&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The run to the reservoir did flag up a small pull to the left, possibly as a result of the work done when the track rod was snapped.
