Great weekend. Just about knackered now. Off to the health farm for a couple of weeks to recoup. See you all soon.

Back to reality today - a work inbox of 650 and a diary full of meetings that have been booked in my absence. Still nice to read I confirmed a couple of contracts whilst I was away!

That almost wasn't funny. Since the boat was leaving at 9:30pm I glanced at the info and misread 8pm latest check in (which seemed sensible to me). At about 6:10pm, on route about 70 miles, I asked Jakki to check the check in time. She read a bit more carefully and found it to be 7pm! Panic call to Brian & I can now confirm that the 356 can cruise at a pretty good speed! We arrived at 7:05pm so all was OK.

We were the first DDK car back on the Ferry on the way back!!

Loved your car Neil and from what I saw and heard it cruised it's 4 cylinders in style!
