I also got a lesson on starting the car. NO HAND THROTTLE, just prime the carb, one or two pumps of the accelerator pedal and then start - catching on the accelerator as it starts. Ah so very different.
I also spotted the new wipers were sitting incorrectly, but after a fiddle we sorted that out.
So off I went - only stopping three times. 1. to clean the windscreen, 2. to find my foot rest, 3. when bloody the water and steam started !
After that we had a good run back - 55 to 65 miles an hour most of the way - keeping steady with the lorries. I stopped to fill up with petrol and then we headed home - a bit knackered but home fine.
Here we are in the strong sunlight, the car laughing at me for my worries I suspect.
Only one of the fleet missing now.
