Since getting my number plates and tax on the 1st October I have done 150 miles already.

I don't think the weather will hold on for much longer. Although just been out tonight and was a great drive.

Have done lots of big road trips usually 1000mile plus in a week. Did the alps this year that was almost 2000miles in a week. 250miles a day pretty achievable in a day with start at 9 two tea brakes, a couple of pee stops and a lunch stop finishing around 5-6pm ish.

If it's your first 7 you will soon harden up to the elements if your serious about getting use out of it. Those that arnt either sell them or keep them polished in the garage for sunny days and friends to look at.

Well done getting it on the road now get out there and use it as much as possible.

Andy

You need to bring it round and show me the finished car buddy

It has seemed to have rained every day since it was finished, so I'm getting out as often as time and weather allows. Next summer will have more chance at doing longer runs. Absolutely love it.....

Harvey, I will give you a call on my next run out to see if your in!!

I've done 420 miles in a day as part of some classic car rallies. Every year since 2008, 1000 miles in 3 days with 400-420 the longest trip.

After that I didn't want to even see the car for the next 2 weeks
