Having got home I checked that the car fits the garage: it does, just, with close to an interference fit. Then went into Westminster in the early evening to visit my wife who had a partial knee replacement op that morning. The poor posture is that of someone who has just extricated themselves from an M3W.
Picked up my Designer son from Norf London on the way in and dropped him back in the evening. My RAF son had lent me a very warm service hat and a newly fitted Fairbourne windscreen made a big difference to travelling at speed. Which these little cars do with great ease! 77 mph on the motorway was clearly not the maximum. I think the windscreen needs a stainless steel strip at the bottom to finish it better. A rearview mirror on the centre pillar would certainly be a good idea.
Travelling home, up through Green Lanes (a misleadingly named long food/resturant drag in NL) I was amazed how popular the car was with pizza scooter delivery drivers. Maybe with a luggage rack on the back this could be a new role!
The melodic chortle of the engine would certainly make 'Thumper' a good name for these cars (but maybe Richard is going to use that name for his). I finally got home truly cream crackered!
