Proud as punch of my old girl ?

We drove her from home here in Germany, through France and through the Euro Tunnel (with a stop-off in London) - up to parents' in Nottinghamshire......and back.

2,250 kilometre round trip - about 1,400 miles - in 2 weeks.

And you know what? She never missed a beat. Not bad for a 16 year old car, eh?

Proud as punch ?

PS - Sarge, I posted this in general discussion so everyone can see how great these cars are ☺. Move it if it triggers your OCD ?

And that folk still make use of them for the big trips.
