The sun was shining for a nice afternoon and I just had to take 'Dotty' out. Odo now up to 350 miles!
I've just put some new rubber matting down in the garage. Smartens things up a treat.

Took mine out for a 20 mile drive yesterday afternoon. It was great except for the low sun angle which made driving into the sun very difficult.

I managed to get mine out for a 50 mile run (last Wednesday) the day before my total knee replacement. Now I'm looking out of the window at the sunny day and wondering how long it's going to be before it comes out again...

Set off at 08:30 this morning (from Llandrinio) to a meeting at Chateau Impney. I need to get miles on 'Dotty' so I can get to the upper reaches of her revs.
It was a 'Crisp' morning but with a warm coat, necker, cap, gloves - it was a pleasure.
I went down the motorway and back across country.
I wore a pair of Blutooth headphones connected to my phone and that kept my ears warm too.
So - Dotty now has 650 miles on the clock.
First service looming - :-)

Nearly three weeks post surgery and I've managed to get out twice now! Oh, it's so nice to be back. Malcom, I have the 420r too, and once you have the first service you will have a smile from ear to ear. Here's mine in Switzerland last summer:

It's the only way for me. Once you go aeroscreen you'll never go back. Plus, it's the cheapest way to make it go faster!

Just reminded me I need to get my MOT booked for this year.
I think this might be my last summer with the car. It's been fantastic but it's just not being used much anymore.
