Cake Day

One year on from registration, the annual road tax and insurance bills out of the way, around 3,800 miles driven in the first year.

Good weather this weekend so...

Saturday garden centre, swift pint watching a little afternoon cricket on the green & food shopping... using the zero for the family shop keeps us honest with the shopping list - no browsing, just essentials that will fit in the boot.

Sunday a spontaneous random meander around kent: Maidstone, Reculver, Ramsgate, Deal, Dover & then back home. Short shirt sleeves all the way and not in any way cold. Kept me occupied for the afternoon & emptied the fuel tank.

Route



A few things on the drawing board; but waiting for poorer weather when it wont matter if the car is off the road:

Will happen:
   Daylight running lights, inspired by Whiz' car from the Scotland trip
   Wipers re-work to avoid the bending issue
   Wing mirrors need something a little better at some point

Might happen:
   Drivers foot plate instead of carpet
   Heater re-work to take air in from behind the grille
   Aux panel re-work for a decent radio + electric aerial
   Re-work the half hood - I've found some better fabric
   Play with the screen rake (maybee)...
