A group of kids in a little tin top overtook us on the Autostrada a week ago. They pulled in front of us to take some photos when I noticed what looked like splashes of water coming from under the car. We were then hit by a shower of dust, dried mud and, I assume, small stones. I pulled out from behind them and gave it some welly to get away from them.

Obviously there must have been some dried caked up mud under their mudguards that shook loose at that moment. I have not found any damage yet so perhaps we were lucky. There may be a tiny chip in the windscreen. I will know more when I get time to wash the car.

Oh! Mileage. We are up to 11,000 km in less than a year but will probably do less next year because that includes 3,500 coming back from the factory. I go for even short runs of about 20 km every time I possibly can but the main purpose was to use the car for two up touring instead of a bike.
