I'm not ready. Still printing maps, instructions etc for those who will forget. Travelled over 100 miles in the Tuscan today through the peeing down rain and got another 440 miles to do tomorrow. Sod it, the car will just have to stay grubby.
See you all in the morning.

Still very grubby as I went out this morning and found that the drivers door was ajar and has been for a week in all this rain - so spent several hours bailing drying and recharging the totally flat battery. Quick fault diagnosis on the battery points to the Mrs leaving the door open and thereby draining it....suspect same fault caused the big puddle inside lol
So...
Car washed - nope
PH name vinyl applied - still on the dining room table
Flagpole and XL union jack - yep found them and ready
Tyres checked - nope
Oil checked - nope
Fuel - Empty
SO its up early tomorrow to wash and do all the checks. AH well looks like it'll be a nice sunny morning :-)
