A trip today to the National Michelin Training and Information Centre in Stoke to pick up something a little special. Thanks to Michellin and BFGoodrich I now have some lovely black shoes. No not the safety footwear i had to…

Finally fitted the hoses complete with new Radiator and new Inter-cooler. Good quality stuff. Few niggles on the angles and stuff but a little trim here and there and they are spot on. The main trim was the top Rad…

Look what turned up from  Stoney Racing, a full set of Silicon Hoses and i mean a FULL set. Wow! They are even Green to match Henrietta’s magnificence. Thanks to them for sending me them. They look like really good…

Planning starts and dates are being decided. Got lots to do and preparations to make. We are currently heading to West Africa and then who knows where. I've got to give a shout out to Angela who took ...

A little more of a tease and some pictures from the recent madness that was Morocco. The crew all lined up and Henrietta on her best behaviour. Its works really well when you have your own photographer in the form…

Few more fails in the bedroom department….actually in the expensive furniture. A few screws and some choice words were used and i wasn’t happy. We’ve had some nice camping in some nice Auberge, some nicer than others and some where…
