Got in it at 07:10

Drove on the ferry at Dover at 8:20, which included a stop for fuel and a security check.

Next 12 days in France

Not on any car but refurbished the failed alternator off the project so now have a spare.  :y

Fitted the last Modified Elite / MV6 door card after repairing the top strip with a dose of chemical metal last night   :)

Ordered some 10mm pads for the rear to lift it slightly for the gas tank.

Took my old Merc (27 years old / 222000) miles for its MOT today.
Had to replace two bulbs.  :)
I paid £350 for it two years ago and get infinite mpg. Best car Ive ever owned in certain respects.
None of those respects are in any way related to speed though. :D

Mercs do take some beating, I had a lovely 1993 190e a few years back. Really feel like you're driving something special..

Drove to the golf course in the TD, bragged that I'd had it 16 years, played golf in the sunshine. Won the money. Drove home. Happy days. :y
