That Friday Feeling…
Yesterday was the hottest day of the year, but I was stuck in an office.

Thankfully, I was able to get off work early today and take the car out for a spin.

One tale to tell from the trip...

I was looking for an photo opportunity around Wembley stadium.

Ended up on the two lane one way system around the big industrial estate around the back.

I could hear a car tooting their horn, which in itself isn't unusual when I'm driving driving around.

However, on this occasion, the tooting continued in earnest and I became concerned something might be wrong.

So I slowed and looked over my left shoulder to find a little old lady in a Mk1 Micra smiling and waving at me.

Unfortunately, we was so excited by my car, she them proceeded to swerved into my lane!

I ended up smoking the tyres doing an emergency stop to avoid crashing into the side of her.

So I ended up heading to a local park for a photo instead, in the hope it might be safer there.



I parked the car in the street when I got back, so I could check (& top up) the oil when the engine had cooled down.



Give the rate the oil appears to be leaking, I will need to get this fixed before ending to Norfolk.

Just realised that today marks 7 months since the car has been on the road.

So until next time, take care, Paul.
