Yesterday I went up to Middle Aston in Oxfordshire from Surrey to see an old friend for lunch, 170 mile round trip mostly motorway driving. The Plus 4 purred along at 3000 revs, around 70mph more or less. With the hood down the roar of traffic, road noise and the wind thumping around made it all quite exciting.
I have noticed before that the roads around this part of Oxfordshire are fairly well maintained in the main, with some broken surfaces and potholes largely contained in the villages, plus, traffic is much lighter than Surrey and roads are free of trees making them fair game for some nice quick driving once off the M40.
The odometer ticked over 6000 miles in our ownership, now still only 10800 in total with the car coming up 12 years old. Both the engine and gearbox are really on song now and run beautifully, the engine revs freely right up to 7000, with only a little additional vibration between 4500 and 5000.

A bit repetitive I know, I was by myself so no portraits or action footage.
