Oh, so you can decide on the colour of other people’s wheels in under 2 minutes but not your own in 2 weeks :poke: :rofl: :rofl:

    That looks like a very nice “shopping car“ you won’t see many in a Netto car park!

      Of course I had to go out for a chat, lovely older couple. It belongs in a stable of 3 Porsche’s, a Bentley and a Ferrari. This is her “going to the shops on a nice day car” which returns 26 mpg “until you’re trying for 200MPH” according to her. :lol:

      Not the best pictures but the gold wheels (which I’m not a fan of normally) looked absolutely stunning and suited it perfectly :thumbsup:

          I'm sure it wasn't as quick for Andy, being Zedless is quite painful, I suffered for 8 weeks!

          Andy,

          You still planning the run-in long way home journey or has Covid regs kiboshed that?

          I have found it quite hard going, particularly when we’ve had a spell of really good weather.

          Fortunately for us, yes we’re still able to make a weekend of it :thumbsup: the Covid restriction extension only effects England, we’re still mainly following our route plan. I’m still cautious about where we go anyway and the area we’re heading to has been, and is currently experiencing lower infection rates :driving:
