Drove Highway 129 from Deals Gap, North Carolina all the way up to Knoxville.

The first 11 miles are, um, interesting in wet covered in leaves. :o

Fortunately no chicken escaped :D

Hitched the caravan up to the RR & brought it home for a wash & loading up, we're off to Clumber Park ( Notts)  for a few days lovely area for walking, Deezil the Boxer dog is shaping up nicely so we're both looking forward to a few days away, tough life this retirement lark..🐕🍺🐕🍺🐕🍺

Well, it obviously failed. Not surprising given that apart from going through the cooling system, I have done nothing but clean it :-X

Immediately requires both front control arm bushes, cat back exhaust (holed back box)and headlight adjustment.

Advisories for three brake pipes and pads all round.

Nothing unreasonable for a 19 year old car with 145k miles under it. But...

Standard Bini failures, they knock the bushing out quickly and seem to rot the exhausts from my experience.

Just pulled a stranded car & caravan out of the field adjoining the campsite, the family had been there for a few nights in torrential rain the Audi estate had sunk to its back axle , the wife walked over & asked if I could help with the RR , did it easily I'm pleased to say & I earned myself 6 cans of Fosters..🍺🍺🍺
Glad to say that the sun is now out after a rather wet couple of days

Bet you walked away with a massive smile on your face, Mick, I know I would have. It's nice when the odd occasion arises that you know your car was made for.
And did I just hear his wife whisper 'We should have got one of those'?  ;D

The vindaloo that we're having tonight should do the trick nicely, washed down with a couple of pints of cobra works better than dynamite..😂
