Driving in the Fens. My altimeter went:
10ft... 0ft... 19,999ft 🤣 (in 10 seconds)

So whilst my SD has a maximum horizontal speed of 142mph it has a vertical maximum of 1,364mph.

That's quite impressive Col M - were you using V Power or some kind of rocket fuel!? 😁

Just Sainsbury's... It was a lovely day to drive through the East Anglian Alps. Noel Coward... totally wrong.

Fortunately we have our own local mountain rescue team to call on if needed.

Would have been an honour to use their services... but fortunately the descent (by climbing) was successful.

Ah....the Alps (and Noel Coward) - gives me an excuse to post my favourite car clip:-



Love that Miura :)

Not sure of the correct phobia term for “ fear of the bulldozer I can’t quite see blocking the road in the middle of the dark tunnel” .....😂

Strangely enough, it's a film I've never seen. But Benny Hill in the credits???
