I'm off work tomorrow, so I'm embarking on a long drive to the North East to swap over a nice practical and economical car for a cabriolet with a large* engine. 

Autoshite sense! 

Anyway, the first leg will start around 5am tomorrow, when I drive my Perodua nearly 300 miles. 

Poo count: 0

Insanity level? I'll let you all decide...

Only things to report is that the odometer stopped working after 80 miles. Hope that isn't a deal-breaker @robthedonkey! Also an artic tried to kill me, but that's normal, isn't it?

My back is a little sore, but I'm not surprised as it was before I started!

If you don't like it why not drive back, collect the Perodua and take that home, and L1 can re-draw the roffle, or gift it to someone who actually wanted to win it in the first place?

FWIW, it looks like a lovely car to me and a good example of a sadly rare car these days.
