You know what it's like, hours and hours under and in the EX in freezing weather trying to fix that elusive fault (Jan knows all about that !) and then it all comes together....
I've just done a sprint up to Edinburgh this afternoon (380 miles) and not a thing has gone wrong with her, no backfires followed by gaffer taping the airbox up (again), no tasty suspension clunks thinking the steering rack will seize at any moment, I even averaged 20 to the (UK) gallon!
I'm starting to think she will go on for ever, just replace each part as it wears out... reminds me of the bloke who had the same hammer for 40 years having replaced the head and handle when ever each wore out.....
OK so there is still lots to do on her, just let me enjoy the road trip this week and then I'll rebuild the rear axle next weekend
So off the Aberdeen tomorrow, back to Edinburgh the following day with Leeds on Thursday... keep your fingers crossed it all goes as smoothly
