Nearly ...

I decided to fire up the Caterham first thing so warmed it up for 45 mins on the fan heater. She started quickly and settled down to a quiet burble to await the off.

I was all set to go too - but decided we'd better get on the road instead. In fact just as I thought that it started to rain anyway - so that was that.

A day driving the MK7 around with the moderns - including this huge BMW M series 430i Convertible with a frankly preposterous front grill.

I thought we'd still squeeze in a run in the Caterham when we got back, but the rain seemed to be following us so that was that - again.
