Nice run out today from Stoke Fleming to Newton Abbot via Buckfastleigh and return via Kingskerswell, Totnes.
Cheery waves from Morris 8, Black E type and a "Saint Volvo" in Gold metallic driven by a Judy also big smiles and waves.

Sounds like a nice run with some good roads now the water has subsided  in early February getting to Totnes to register mothers death was a challenge even in they Freelander, now the roads have dried out yippee Pete Edit due to spelling/my thick fingers

What a miserable journey that must have been. Luckily the weather seems to be more favourable now, you got a trip out planned at all Pete ? I got mine in today as my wife had another engagement and tomorrow we shall be visiting her Mum after a bit of ringing and Mothering Sunday service. Last time I saw my mother I was 18 Months old so not much of a miss for me !

Great spot for a photo! Williams yesterday - nice run along the A46 both directions, but not enough miles

Ran my wife across to visit her mother yesterday - good blast across from Reading to Milford via Hartley Witney.
Only downside is that it has been " decided " that my mods make the car too noisy!! - so in the interest of using the passenger seat ever again - looking at either putting standard exhaust back on - or fitting the acoustic trim to the Librands?
Will wait to see what the garage guys suggest tomorrow - as probably now over 100db- which would be useless for any more track days anyway, so I have to sort something,

Good luck...I found the acoustic trim next to useless on my 4/4. 98db when tested last year at Castle Combe. I knew it was noisy but not that noisy!

Castle Combe's sound meter seems to read high, particularly towards the end of a season. And yes, I know they have to be calibrated by an independent test house each year...

 Agreed! I haven't got full Environmental Scrutineer license, so can't do it...
