I’ve not posted one - I did intend to so will get on and do that. Been busy!

It’s nice to want to get up early and go for a drive. Taking the M5 into Wales and back home for breakfast was a good bonding experience. And put some miles on - I really need to book the 1200 mile running in oil change before we go to Scotland in early May.

Yes, I love it and it’s quick. Not sure when I’ll ever have the opportunity to use full throttle.

Also did 25.0mpg on my enthusiastic drive this morning so the hybrid gubbins makes it efficient.

You will do. For about 4 seconds or so.

Brake hoses for the 6 series arrived so fitted those and bled it and took it for a drive and it’s all good

There is one shiny thing in my car now :lol:

The Tesla hit its rear brake pad squealer thing, there seems to be a billion different pad sizes so I quickly went to take off the wheel to check. Noticed it had some side to side play then noticed this bush was falling halfway out
Image
I think it must have been from when I hit the manhole cover and buckled the wheel. Fortunately the whole arm with bush is £36 from Tesla.

Can shit just stop breaking now please :lol:
How about not having a sig at all?

Took my wife out for a slap up meal once I was home.

Had to eat in the car because the benches were damp. I’ve christened it now by dropping a piece of bender in special sauce on the seat 😂

I love the idea of a early morning blast out for breakfast. More of this!

Haven't we seen this hedge before? Or is it just similar to one that Mik customarily parks in front of? I guess hedges look kinda similar...

A slap meal sounds horrible though :?

Oops, corrected 😄
The hedge is in Wales so I suspect Mik has never been there. It’s in a lay-by off the A44 near Pen-y-Bont.

In fact, exactly here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4T1r9xm4Zsfp2CYU8?g_st=ic

Come over the Pennines into the Lake District for the weekend, wasn’t sure what to expect with all the ups and downs but Puma still returned an average of 40mpg, really pleased with that. It’s proving to be the perfect everyday vehicle for me, big enough boot to throw a load of tools in when needed, decently economical, and while it’s not the fastest thing in the world, with 200hp it’s quick enough to have fun when the moment presents itself
