Just short of 4000 miles in very nearly a year. Woken up to a glorious morning to drive Nero down to Williams today for a new set of brakes, MOT and some trim work, so that'll bring it up to 4000 miles. Somewhat better than the previous owners 700 miles in 4 years!
Must remember not to stroke those Spaniels!

Must remember not to stroke those Spaniels! From the sounds of it, you already have!  Shall get over the 4k miles on Friday with the intention of making the "FriPie" lunch...

 I had rather better luck in Spain where the road from Murcia to Granada was excellent. I thought Lee van Cleef would come round the corner at any minute.

I'm in Mougins - so I'm tootling about Valbonne, Gourdon, Saint Paul de Vence, Cannes etc. If you're still in the area, try the road between Grasse, Tourrettes and Fayence: lovely scenic drive + incredible villages that I used to know very well back in the 90s when I was flying gliders over the Alps [sigh] Cheers, Vladimir

780 miles in 2 days, most of it in the rain, now have 2 stone chips on the upside they are both below the front lights that will be repainted when retuned to the factory to get the cracks sorted. Now water getting under the leather on the door sill and marked.
Even better now have a contact that manufacture the wing mirrors that most dealers stock to replace the crap Morgan ones will report back on a group by.
Very much in the dog house, could be up for rehoming

Actually yes. Not too hot in the early morning, only slowed down by the school buses.
Went grocery shopping. Only space for the important stuff. Dog Biscuits, a jug of wine, coffee beans and whipped cream (don't ask . . .)
