First Turn of the Key

The next morning around 7:30 am and in the cold, the Talbot started first 'turn of the key' so to speak. Although again once the residual fuel was used up she stopped. Only to be started up easily again.

Just under 30 miles later, taking a route across country we were parked up next to Lavinia outside the hanger waiting for the others.


It was going to be a warm day too. AGM next and in the hanger was David R's nice Blue on Blue tourer.


AGM all done - and Swiss gardens visited - it was time to head home again. Just over 90 more miles [with the same noises] until we chose to stop to fill up with petrol again when almost home. That produced another noise which turned out to be the curled know holding the speedo in place coming loose - bloody bumpy roads.

So just shy of 250 miles later and we are home unpacking - TAS taking it all in its stride. Averaging 16/17 miles a gallon as normal and using almost no oil.
