Well did my first proper run with the ///M today.

The car has a new identity & this was my first chance to give her a run before I have my knee op on Saturday.

Weather wasn't great, but who cares when you are at the wheel of a car like this with the heated seat on :D

Left home at Ripponden, & took a route under the M62, down through Denshaw, along to Greenfield.

Then climbed up past the Dovestones Reservoir.

Drove along the moors to Holmfirth, before picking up the Barnsley road to the M1.

Steady run back to Ripponden on the motorway network

I don't think the grin on my face will ever go :driving:

Took a few pics there, but photography is not my strong point as you can see :oops:










 
Right then; this is where the real adventure starts. . . .

Nice one - roof down and new personalised reg as well! :thumbsup:

Looking forward to many more posts in the future.

All the best with the op tomorrow.

:driving: :thumbsup:
 
Thanks gents.

One of those days to day when everything was right with my world :)

No intention of doing too may solo runs.. much prefer a chat & a brew :thumbsup:
 
The pics and the car look excellent, know the feeling about 'grins on face'.
Hope your op goes well for you, osmething I need but lack the courage. Assume its a joint refurbish?

Andy - I washed & waxed the car when I got home :oops:

Back in the garage now with a car cover over it :roll:

I'll give you a bell next week & we can sort out a day when you're free (And it's dry) :P
 
You was only 2 miles away from me at Dovestones.... I use that road as a test route...

Great views...
 
Everyone needs to be alone (with their Zed) from time to time. Scenery like that makes me miss living the north, but the job's down here. Once car and pics.

Good luck with the op

+1 to everything you've just said!

Looks like a good drive out OP! And with a cracking car. Can't beat drivinelg alone without having to worry about how smooth the gear changes are ;-)

Believe it or not i use the road a lot to clean out DPF's on clogged diesels... It s a decent length of road where i can get exhaust temps up. Boring but true...
