My trip to Macdonalds in rush hour today
Discussion
I've had a hard week - well, I worked 4 days ! - so took the Griff out for a blast this afternoon. I managed an 85 mile round trip to go to Macdonalds at Foxton Locks for coffee and an apple pie 
Here are pictures of the Leicestershire countryside from the cockpit of a Griffith around 4:45 today
Just left McD's, all warmed up from the coffee
Snuggle down then, and lets have some fun on the twisties.
I think this is a beemer 5 series. Miserable looking git anyway!
Ah, the great british countryside. Didn't notice it myself unless it had white lines painted on it.
Traffic must have frightened me!
And now some villages. Can't remember what though, probably had very odd names knowing the Leicestershire countryside.
...Just remembered this one. I think it's Ashby Folville - of the car meet fame.
Well it would be if you could actually see anything. If you look hard you can see the top of a pointy church spire in the middle of the picture.
...And this one I think is Thrussington
And home at 5:15pm, about a third of a tank and £2.10p lighter.
Rush hour is such a PITA

nice pics/roads 
Ms Kbear and I did a similar thing last week...
Popped down the road through Carinthia into Italy through Pisa, Lucca, the Cinque Terra, up into France past Monaco, Nice & Cannes for a quick cafe macchiato and chocolate éclair
then back home through Tirol via Lake Garda 
20-25 deg sunshine every day and the car was spot on the whole time..
