Another sojourn into Wales today. Excuse was, a test drive following some suspension work. But also has new EBC discs and Greenstuff pads...and boy, are the brakes hugely improved. Torrential rain and gales...but was nothing to a 2.5 ton 4WD brick on all-season Contis.

Little sunset trip this evening in the 350Z (farewell drive, if anyone actually buys it) over to Gospel Pass and then on foot to the top of Hay Bluff. Car drove well, engine is simply <chef's kiss> I on the other hand, was wheezing like a bastard and going to be sore tomorrow..

Well, it was a mixed weekend. On one hand, I finally got the E82 back on the road after sitting on the lawn for 2.5 months with broken suspension and took it on an awesome road trip to Dartmoor with friends. On the other...well see the last photo.

It's a weekend of hellos and goodbyes. Au revoir to the Espace 350Z, which departed this afternoon with its new owner. And welcome to the world our new ducklings. Three hatched so far.

Fun with trains yesterday, took younger son (who LOVES trains) on a footplate ride at Severn Valley Railway. A fantastic experience for both father and son, and he even got to blow the whistle a few times! ☺️

Rustival tomorrow. Unfortunately the more interesting cars are off the road, so I'll be in this. Listen out for the pulley whine. Oh, and it's currently been sitting a month, has a flat battery, and is missing the passenger seat. Plus it's filthy. But otherwise, perfect. Ish.

Currently, I am mostly on a car collection caper. Clues - it's 1990s, an import, and uber rare in the UK.

And here it is! No, not the Espace...it's behind it 😁

And here is the newest addition to the fleet, in all its glory! Couldn't resist lining it up for a photo alongside its period European rival. It's a little rough around the edges, but managed the trip back from North Yorkshire to Hereford in the rain without drama.

Welcome to the newest addition to the fleet! This was either a genius idea, or the begining of my downfall. Before anyone asks, the key numbers are 2000kg and 1470kg.
