Made it to Muddy Good Weekend and back (425miles rough total) fine. Had a wheel bearing go by the time i was home. Due to time restraints i've put it into the garage that MOTs it. (Proper garage, mechanics not "technicians", ran by people who know about cars).
As i need it ready again for the 8,9,10 of May and probably won't be home till then.
I can recommend half doors for long trips. Just makes it more interesting.

The voice in my head as I read that changed into a northern accent, and "interesting" became "in'erestin" etc...
To me, there's something soothing about a northern accent. Might be because my grandad was from Newcassle. Uh, I mean, Newcastle.

Yeah Jordi kudos to you, longest travelled with fewest doors! You northerners are made of tough stuff!
Thanks for stopping in on the way and dropping off the filler hose, It was good to meet you & your missus too, I've been speaking to you on here for long enough so it was about time!
