So after the preparation of yesterday the day dawns cold and clouds. We took the back roads as planned and got there without incident. The 7:45 am start paid off too and we were first to park at the Mill and got prime spot.
Here we are.
Anyway a total of 35 miles under our belts and checking later the car had used a little water, plus about an 8th of the dip stick oil. Most of the oil was probably thrown out at the top rather than burned too as I can't get the rocker box covers to fit snugly enough.
I did find the brakes worse as they warmed up and harder work than before - but the general driving fine. The distance was fine too if a little bumpy.
Oh and I'm told I drive in the middle of the road - so I'll have to work on that.
Then as it was Drive it Day I drove a bit more and took the modern, sophisticated, easy to drive, comfortable and safe one around the block. The Alpine of course.
