I just need to address a list of 20 issues and modifications then the Chim will be ready for its first trip out. I set off from home on Friday 15th and back Easter Monday.

Rolling road tune, to work, to Peters to play with other Tivs, to Sisters, to Garners meet and a go on the RR there, then up to York for 2 days drag racing then home again. Simple.

Should be enough to get the car properly warmed up...

Do you like motorways?

I regularly drive 331 miles non stop between Barrow and Portsmouth.
I generally switch off into zombie mile muncher mode for 4 hours 45 minutes.

No, motorways are not my favourite but they get the job done... most of the time

I don't envy you.

With more time, I'm sure that there are more fun routes.

To add.
The Chim is fully decatted and has a sleeved box.
I have to wear earplugs or it drives me mad and a headache sets in after 20 minutes if i want to cruise at 80ish headache

Wimp

By the way if you want Gas, Ron is on nights so only available at the weekends.

I guess trip D could be modified to drop by Rons on the way to Peters.
