Two weeks without the Mog now as it sits in the garage without a windscreen. Allegedly Autoglass will be back with the new screen next Wednesday............ wait and see ??
Oh yes! 830 miles since Wednesday evening, and now in Neffies near the South of France. I wanted to get a picture under the Millau Viaduct today, but spent an hour retracing our steps after road blocks for the Tour de France! Duh! Should have checked where it and we were going today! Eventually had to take the autoroute and go over the viaduct - very impressive, but not so good for photo opportunities. Grounded twice today, once on a 30kph bump in Roujan, which was quite ridiculous in its steepness, and at the start this morning coming out of our overnight stop. Fortunately nothing too serious, but I'd like another cm of ground clearance. Again 37C+, so roof up and side screens off to keep happy. She has been remarkably stoical, but I know she'll never do a trip like this again. It's a bit like the time I took her on the boat down from Oldbury to Cardiff and it kicked up rough just after Portishead. You can't turn back, you have to keep going, but somehow I know she won't want to do it again Shame, as the Roadster has been fantastic. Very impressed with it as a long distance cruiser on minor roads, and if it had air con it would be perfect. (Never thought I'd say that!)

Went and saw a friend and took his brother-in-law out for a spin yesterday, he started asking how much and about models, so maybe a new recruit.
Today I move the car out of garage and move Suzuki in to finish spraying the final coats on the bumper out of the breeze, minor repair where I had scuffed the edge on the wall.

Buggered Off, to a modern none leaky car, heart's still ticking
As I arrived a spaniel trotted up to the car - clearly very well trained - by a stoke of luck Phil came out to greet me so had to look up to make eye contact ....clearly a very close shave!!

Doesn't Gavin still work there? (Or was that another advert?).
