    Car is washed and polished ready to end up filthy in Bonnie Scotland next week.
    Making a bigger trip of it by travelling via the lake district starting Saturday.
    Oh yeah, finally fitted the smarttop module too.
    Should have been standard, shame on you BMW :x

    Looking very nice, going by the state of mine, you are correct it’ll be filthy by the time you get here :lol:

    Looking forward to it, just hoping the weather’s kind to us 🤞🏻

      Great news V :thumbsup:

      I had a leg issue about a month or so ago and was delighted I had an option of an auto on the drive. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been going anywhere!!

        You pair are putting me to shame, I’ll need to clean mine again or you’ll be making me park in the corner away from you.

        Weather’s looking ok at this point :thumbsup:

        Vaughan, good luck with the MOT

          :lol: Thanks Andy. I suspect that by the time I get up to you it won't be looking quite so clean :wink:

          Hopefully the weather will be reasonably kind to us. Am i right in thinking there won't be any midges at this time of year or do I need to break out the Avon Soft?

          You’ll need to give it a quick refresh in Inverness possibly.

          Yes, the weather’s looking not too bad for the start. Unfortunately when I was out washing mine at the end of last week I had to cut it short because of the midgies. They were the worst I’ve felt this year so the Avon might need to come with you!
