Pictures taken in full sun to blind you to the fact that it's filthy really Steve. Much more fun to drive it than wash it ! Sun will still be higher in the sky in 8 months so I will try to find another photo spot or two if I can. Also by then cattle will still be out in the fields and there are no dairy farms on the route so you should be safe from cow poo.:)

Tony.

ps. I bought one of the toys for the car tonight.................................................;)

And you call us southerners 'softies' lol... Mine was up after I got to the meet as it started to rain.. On the way back.. I would say Mother Nature got her revenge.. One car sideways into a ditch and a car who spun in front of me and I was thinking ebbee was going the way of the previous zed. Lucky for me, it kept going onto the verge.. The rain and hail was so heavy, it was a couple on inches of hail .. Looked like snow.

Glad to get home too.

I managed to get out for a hour or so this afternoon in the sunshine. A slight alteration of my planned route for the September pre lunch run.
It was bloody cold up on Ingham top too. Thought I'd check out one of the photo stops !

Good to see you out and about mate. We got out for an hour too through clumber park and surrounding area.

Well, as the weather was so good this morning we (@Mrs Mint & I) decided to have a little trip out. After all, the Zed is not SORNed this year so it would be rude not to. Picked up some fuel first, 99.9p/litre, then on up the Peaks to our first tea stop in Longnor. After a welcome cuppa, we carried on to the Hope Valley and did the usual ring via Edale and on the way back to Hope we spotted an Atlanta Blue Z3 going in the opposite direction. Massive waves both ways as it was @Bozzy, also out for a run. We pulled up and had an impromptu meet, good to see you and Sara Steve. Tea stop at the Old Hall Hotel in Hope then back home. 120 miles of (mostly) top down motoring - in January, not bad. Here's the pictures to prove it:

However, the Zed does need a wash again:banghead:

Would have been nice to have joined you but had so much on today on top of a bloody migraine! Always nice to bump into the short one! Pleased you all had a good day. ;)
 
Just nice to go out in the sunshine mate, I don't see much of it working inside all the time. By the way in picture no. 6 you can see two of the power stations on the Trent bank (Notts side). The one on the right is West Burton rear Gainsborough which you went close by the other day and the one on the left is Cottam just across the river from us.

Used to go into west Burton when I drove for the pit. Never did Cottom but used to do the one that has now shut down, small one but the names gone. It's an age thing!!
 
You're more likely to get webbed feet mate !!;)
