Hands stopped trembling yet???

Yes, but B-Dazz’s bottom still twitching like a rabbit’s nose.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Plenty of time Mr D.
Military Road now resurfaced is better than ever. Once a week visit in the little hooligan keeps cobwebs from forming on us both.

Cracking road too. Next time I’m over I will give you a shout

Seeing the ML with the tow bar gave me an ideal. As a favour to you we can swap your ML for my Vito. You can do your much loved tip runs and house moves. I can do really really fast quarry runs with my trailer.

Does that sound fair?

Those cars are VERY clean! I must get my deep cleaning head on - Even then it wouldn't be as good as yours ...... Kudos

We took the SLK on trip to Southport this afternoon to have a look at a caravan. Roof down almost all of the way there, but it started raining when we were off the motorway and just a few miles away from our destination so we reluctantly put the roof up. Unfortunately it stayed up all the way home because it barely stopped raining until we were a few miles from home.

I assumed that it would be absolutely filthy despite setting off with it cleaner than a new pin, but it looks remarkably sharp, despite covering around 100 miles in the rain. It managed 35.7 MPG over 5 hours 27 minutes and 214 miles (95% motorway and dual carriageways). I was travelling at at least the speed limit all the way, but still only managed an average speed of 39 MPH, and not the elusive 85 MPH

It was comfortable, relatively spacious, and performed really well - it would have even managed 36.X MPG had I not enjoyed the last few miles on some twisting B roads. A brilliant feature is the ability to drop the rear quarter windows only, with the roof and front windows up. Great for a little extra sound and airflow, but not too much. I can’t believe it took me so long to be enlightened!

Did you see the sea?

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Did you see the sea?

Believe it or not, we could only just see it, the rain was heavy, the were high dunes, and visibility poor due to the rain! We didn’t buy a caravan either!

 

[GeeJayW]

Did you see the sea?

Don’t be daft, it was obviously raining so hard that he couldn’t see the boxes in the car park let alone the sea…

I live not to far from Southport. Thought I heard ya.

Keep parking like that Mr D and you'll need to buy a Beemer

Are you after a TOURER by any chance

Are you after a TOURER by any chance

Indeed we did. How did you know? We went to see an Eriba 820.
