Hi All,
A great day out at the Oaksmere Italia '24 event was the final shakedown run for my car prior to a planned road trip next week - up to the borders of Scotland for 5 days (well if they still let the Sassenachs in without a licence).
I've been conscious of the general lack of adventures in the car this year. And still feel bad that my shot at Turin '24 fell on the same date as a planned holiday-way too late to cancel.
So a change of scenery, maybe some open roads if I can find some without a speed camera, and a week with the Coupe is planned.
Apart from a front tyre that seems to have a very slow leak-all seems to be ready for trip now. Fresh service recently, I've gone over everything, washed, waxed- and she is looking good. Possibly may spend a few minutes just making sure the cabin furniture is all nipped up-as she sounds more squeaky then normal.
With a tank full of fuel - plan is to let a couple of hundred miles go by to really make sure all is good and she is fully awake.
So if you see a Red Coupe - North bound on the 8th September, mulling about the borders to the 12th September - give us a wave!!
Hope to see 1 other coupe as I drive most of the length of the country!
Regards
MM

MM, excellent that you are venturing north to this part of the world; afaik only one other coupé is based in this area, G_Man's 16v. He's a bit off the beaten track west of Berwick but for all I know the coupé might even have begun its winter hibernation ![confused confused](/forum/images/graemlins/default/confused.gif) Otherwise you would likely have to reach Motherwell or a few of us in Edinburgh to chalk off a sighting ![frown frown](/forum/images/graemlins/default/frown.gif) Which route are you thinking of taking across the border? (I guess you mean September... ![wink wink](/forum/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif) )
