Forumite meet up and a state visit to 'Durham Dave'

Post by Pbondar » Wed Jun 09, 2021 7:58 pm

Had a lovely day out with cherrym aka Mike around the Northern Pennines today..a 200 mile potter on some lovely, new to me, roads. :driving:

Big thanks to Mike for showing me some of his backyard roads :thumbsup:

Visited 'Durham Dave' although mostly his son to discuss replacing my HPFP/Injectors to cure the misfire.

Seemed very knowledgeable about the newer engines of the N20 type.

So booked in two weeks time to get the updates done.

Just returned from doing most of that route today with the wife. Even included a 4 mile walk around the reservoir to work up a thirst.

Nice drive as long as you avoid some serious potholes :o
