you were considering a Tesla! Mind you there's a hell of a difference between that and a Mustang. Yes, I can't imagine two cars more diametrically opposed in their ethos.

But the Tesla performance is amazing. Difficult choice to make.

Drove down to the Ford dealer to look at the Mustang GT.
Less than £40K for the fully specified 5.0L.
Surprised by the fit and finish..better than a Tesla I looked at.
Delivery......9 to 10 months!
Tempting....
Now I have to wash Tarka...roads damp. If you need any encouragement Peter    I'd happily give a none biased opinion to Caroline, does she know she's replacing her Merc?

After a long week getting work stuff done ready for year end I was getting withdrawal symptoms..so nothing for it but a run in the Healey to test the new windscreen. I can report its ok and I can see through it.  Roads a bit mucky and lots of people out and about but nice to get out in it again.

Aeros back in the garage now after collecting from the factory on Thursday.
Let's hope the weathers ok over the holiday to get out for a couple of blasts.

A nice 50 mile round trip to Buckfastleigh it looks like the baliff's have been in there the shop is wrecked with the floor up - all it says is preparations for the millennium I shall do a search and see what it's about.
Midnight Mass there is a wonderful event there even for non STW&W people, a bit smoky though with all the incense.
It's been 8 days since the last run out what with rain and then salt - this will have to change.

The most impressive part of Buckfastleigh is the 'new' prayer room with the huge stained glass window in the end. It holds an atmosphere of absolute peace & tranquility. I love the atmosphere in there, but we don't get there much!

Yes and they were designed and made in the abbey by the monks and are rough hewn glass bricks, it is a wonderful place for quiet contemplation. It's better than any Cetek! When the sun streams through it is exceptional, it's a routine visit for me being a handy 25 miles away and enroute to Dartmoor. As the years progress I seem to gather more and more people that I need to light a candle for - such is life.   There is a Methodist Chapel within the grounds which holds monthly services, this co siting I would think is fairly unique.
