(12x2)+(4x2)+8=40

We began with an inappropriate car - the Aston to collect the battery for the MK7 Golf. I'd been reading Evo magazine about using Super Cars all the time and thought I must.

As they concluded, no one has ever said on their death bed "I wish I'd used the Aston Martin less".

So we collected the battery and the mechanic fitted it - quite easily in fact. 

And after a quick drive to re-set all the bloody sensors and electronic gizmos we were done. 

Next I thought I'd put a light in the new garage - I faffed around with two old ones I had and failed to get the switch to work. So SAAB to B&Q to get a proper switch. A few 'stutters' so I ragged it and it seemed to be better. Umm.

Anyway after sorting out the light (one we bought in London !) I had to move the Aston back in again. Umm - it really needed another run - so off we went to save the planet. I really like the deep grown it makes as you come off the power.

Anyway here we are - planet breathing a sigh of relief.

Home and then what - the sun was out. So ... the Ferrari had missed out a few days ago so it got it's blast.

Well it looked 'arty' when I took it. Good run and I went a bit further to stretch its legs too. 

So the 40 ? The number of cylinder exercised today.
