"Carlotta had a tail wind on the last journey? Or you drove like granny?
Hope you get the probs fixed."


Not at all: from the beginning to the end of our holiday week lots of roads were very 'slopy' and winding, but no tail wind nevertheless.

Lots of kicks-down while overtaking...

And as I boycott toll motorways, just a short 100km of a free one on the first day.
Unbelievable and incomprehensible.

Thank you for your support, but I put faith in Lady Carlotta. I guess it's another response of the carelessness she was victim of.
But it's now over and I'm confident in our common future.
Some of my French friends, especially the British cars owners weren't surprised: 'Always like that with our English cars. Ever making fuss & doing airs & graces like old ladies'!
