who's been out for a drive today?
Half way through decorating the hall, stairs and landing and kept looking out the window at the glorious sun shine. So, put away my paint brushes for
an hour and went out for a blast in the kit. What a great drive, bit chilly but wrapped up warm.
Gave a major scare to a Porsche GTS when pulling away from a round about, he tried bless him.
Back home and painting again.
So who else has been out and what did you get up too? Gentle drive or outright hoon!

Yep went out for a quick blat to try and get a few more miles done to shake down the car.... Ended up with a loose front cycle wing... (Loose
screw)
Spent Saturday sorting out the cooling and now it gets up to temp... Just need to raise the fan cut in temp to 95 degrees....

North Wales councils obviously need some tips from your lot for road surfaces! Sun was shining but was still greasy as hell here.3 unfortunate people
died lastweek in separate accidents but all they do is lower the speed limits around here.maybe the powers that be should look deeper into why the
roads are such death traps here.maybe its down to the cheap temporary road surfaces and thousands of gravel wagons spilling diesel, cowmuck etc spread
all over the roads etc. sticking temporary signs up doesnt get to the route cause.im glad I wasn't riding a bike today.

Went south from Shrewsbury through the lanes to Knighton. The roads were lethal with mud and leaves and driving into the sun didn't help.
Returned through Clun and Kerry which made up for it. Blooming cold though.

About 40 miles round
Washed it first in 10 minutes then set off to dry it.
Nice run out in the sun as far as my mum's and back.
As I said to the mrs, this is why I still tax it in November.
Good times , brothers
