Drove from Dieppe home. Usual pleasant performance.

Only problem we had - not RR related - was that there was a medical emergency on board the ferry en route to Newhaven so there was a knock on 2.5 hours delay in departure. Didn't get into Dieppe until 0100 hrs instead of 2230. Fortunately had a hotel already booked.

Was alongside a green 07 plate Ff when waiting to board but only exchanged one of my more pleasant smiles with the driver  John

Just spent 2 hours washing the underneath of the FF, under tray off to get at the difficult parts...In the rain.

Why, because some prat in a pretend 4x4 came round a blind bend towing a trailer too quickly and on my side too, the only place for me to avoid him was off the tarmac on the verge. ...soft, wet and wheel spokes inside the wheels full of mud and underneath the car...grrr  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Went in the FF to Norauto - a sort of 'French Halfords' - to get a new battery for SWMBO’s Twingo (yes, Twingo, sorry!). See, other cars have battery failure too! But then in this case the old one was the original – the date stamp on it shows 29/01/2007. 8+ years … not bad! I hope my current FF one lasts as long … It's "bébéchoon", ackcherly, with accents. 'Steve' to my chums.
20 years ownership of Solihull products, ALL GONE NOW, sniff!
Current motor: Suzuki S-Cross 4WD auto, 1.4 petrol. Oh so reliable! 7 years now and no problems. Oh, all right then, a leaking shocker replaced under guarantee.
