Don't think you made it onto the tunnel run vid as there was a rather tasty looking Cerbera blocking the camera car at the time and you went past in the outside lane before our car could get into the tunnel.


OOPS..paperbag sorry


Having checked the footage, it wasn't you 2DOGS as the car was a gun-metal grey / dark silver?






That would be my other half's father then....

Apologies on his behalf!

Looking forward to seeing the new routes - perhaps I could give them a try next week if you don't mind making them available? (and it's not pi$$ing it down!)

Woofle, woofle, pop, bang, pop.... cloud9

Edited to add...mine had a very small weep from the rad for a while - used to monitor it closely but it never got worse and temp. was always fine.

Its getting a new one fitted as we speak, probably going to get the pipes done at pro-speed, looking forward to a bit of extra noise to wake the neighbours up in the morning!
