Cool The Bear is standing in ............................

.................................. For our return journey to London. Banana has spat her dummy out and Redfive needs a rest. Plus with the stuff my visitors have bought the ZTT has the room. And I'm taking my cleaning stuff back with me as I'm booked to get a Focus up to scratch. Or scratch free in this case.

It will be just a short trip, no mini tour this time. I'll be dropping Ann off then Emma, who has my curtains to shorten. Before I return to Michaels. Staying over then work to be carried out on Saturday. Staying over again then leaving early Sunday morning for my return trip.

So should you hear us on the A38-M5-M4-Car Park and the A10 to drop the "girls" off. Then I return to Michaels via the A10 & A406.
Give us a wave, flash or toot.


************************************************** **************
On a personal note I will be attending to my wife's grave as Saturday will be our 25th wedding anniversary, our actual anniversary is on the 28th. But that is the same day the contract/completion on the flat happens. I do not think I will be able to cope emotionally so that's the reason I'm returning early.

Cool The Bear done well.......................

................................. In getting me safely through the horrendous weather. Only hold up was on the Tamar Bridge, accident.
Round trip of 560 miles means the Bear has now tripped over onto 54k.

Give her a nice clean tomorrow should it stop raining, and fill up so the little orange light goes out.

They're not as bad as you think. I can get just shy of 28mpg on a steady run, not much less than a V6.

Hmmm, that's better than my 2.8i Capri can manage that's for sure!

We think it might be coil packs. Going up to Matt's tomorrow for him to plug the T4 in.
Allen is taking his new ZTT up to Matt's for some work as well. Be a mini meet.
