Not how I expected our evenings to go! I felt dreadful about things and was off in the quattroporte support vehicle straight away but sadly became clear an oil cooler hose had let go. Its an old car, but that doesnt make me feel less bad. I hope the rest of your trip goes more smoothly!

No worries at all, if anything both of us got lucky that this is the first time for a thing like that to happen! Since my delayed train down means that I'll probably get a refund for that journey anyway and I'm likely to save one hell of a load of petrol money I'm probably not losing financially either. The car will still make it's way up.

And I still get to drive a new car! Let's see what it is.

mokka petrol (hope not)

The courtesy car actually turned out to be better than expected! 2014 Peugeot 308 Diesel, which conveniently offered some extra cargo space for those Oldsmobile Aurora parts I wanted to pick up anyway...

Indeed! We've had a quick look at the various projects waiting to see the light of day again, definitely looking forward to seeing the Lotus on the road.

Since yesterday and today were pretty much non-stop for me, and I haven't posted many photos of the Jag (before it broke down), have a few more impressions from yesterday:

And look at this, apparently there is a VR6 Sharan living at the super posh "Crescent" in Bath. Talk about super rare, old money shite!

Also nice bonus E28 and Barchetta.
