Test run with Mrs co pilot on board to calibrate the recently fitted cruise & speed limiter, main issue is finding a flat legal 50+ mph road in our area My partner Val is my cruise control, sadly not programmable  Brave move fitting it yourself though Jon and great result

I set off for the Med soon in mine - 3 days wandering down to Provence for a few weeks. I had briefly (for a nano second) toyed with the thought of taking the Tesla as the price of a tank of fuel is currently ridiculous. But you only live once.

It was cheaper in Ballater than at home!
Tomorrow is forecast wet for packing the car, and wet over Glen Coe, so expecting steamy windows for a few miles.

Robbie,
I know how you feel. I hope they solve it fast. If it is just the O ring material (which seems very odd) then assuming a standard piston diameter there must be many viton suppliers out there , but I guess the brake supplier needs to agree on what to do.

DAY 26. Drove the length of the Route Napoleon from south of Grasse to Grenoble. 210 miles and around 6 hrs. Stunning scenery. Just a few bikes, no interesting cars apart from my +8. Then onward another 40 miles to my nights stop near Chambery. Still great driving weather albeit a little too hot. No rain daytime for 4 weeks.

Then onward another 40 miles to my nights stop near Chambery. Still great driving weather albeit a little too hot. No rain daytime for 4 weeks. soooo jealous, it's a cracking road. IIRC after arriving at our destination we turned right around and went back for another go!    I drove it in the 80's in a 2 litre Opel Manta - and had the pleasure of watching a 2CV (who clearly knew the road) keep up with a 928 (who clearly did not).... even through several overtakes, where the 2CV used momentum to match the 928's brute force.
