Went for a nice 80 mile drive on saturday morning. Came home at lunchtime wishing I had gone out in a boat as it was a bit wet.

Sort of , but I wouldn't recall it a pretty building :) I only live I a small village and the only 2 things we have are a good pub and an old school garage 8)

Always some nice classic being mot'd .... There is quite a rare prewar mg under that dust sheet

Took the back route from London to Bristol on Monday. Sunshine and roof down. Can highly recommend it. Give yourself an extra hour and enjoy some great roads across Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and into the Cotswolds.

Old school route plan, taped to the dash 8)

Graphics look cool Russ - I'd never have picked gold but it looks great

Depends what state of mind I'm in!

I've always liked gold/white on a 911 and given there's an additional reason behind Russ' colour choice it's a winner all round.

^ Does look just right Russ.

New oil for me yesterday. Valve adjust today. Engine much smoother and more powerful on the trip home this evening.

But then it's like that when I give the car a nice wash.

Cars know you know.

Mike.
