Curb Crawling, Re-cycling and a Reward

So off we go again. Early 8:00 am arrival by SAAB at Harkstead to avoid the bridge problems. We set off at 8:15 and were at the Nuffield by 9:00 - so only 45 mins - 20 of that crawling up the ski slope. Two mile tail back coming towards us was a problem though.

Then home via a chemist and skirting the curb.


Phew that was close. No drugs there though - and not much traffic on the bridge either. Home again and then a quick trip to Manningtree for drugs again - but no, I'll have to go back tomorrow. I can see lots of bits of roadworks on the Brantham road now.

PM pottering and then Alpine out for a short test drive and to save the planet. It went well (I guess it's not so hot today) but needs more tuning.


It was also dusty and full of Yew tree fronds - I must sort out a garage for it - or a toy box.

What was left ? Well the Imp has not had a run for a while. Was it really the 25th June last time I drove it ? It rewarded me though.


Great drive and no wheel 'wobble' although I powered along and zig-zagged where it usually happens. It also felt smoother and more powerful ! Nah - just me.

Ah and that pile of rust ? I realised it was the track the engineering trolley followed - phew.
