Put the fazer on the trailer & set off for a trouble free drive home to wales, leaving scotland at 0930am Smile .....350 miles later & the car decided to die :\ .


An RAC visit followed by a recovery truck followed by an eventual recovery home seen me walk through the door at 1110pm :'(




On the plus side the  :faz [size=78%] is ok [/size] 8) , & my only reliable transport! 8)
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

fired up with a very light touch of the starter Big Grin

Nothing. Why? Cos it looks like I've come down with a viral infection - was sitting in the garden in hot sunshine with a pullover on, shivering! Someone cheer me up... :'(
