    That's what we figured Fi. That and the Thistle run miles will be on the old mowta, instead of the new one. We were also thinking on some thistle run's you do have to cane the car a wee bit, and whilst we don't really subscribe to the "keep it below 4,000 revs for 1,500miles" theory, we didn't really want to be in the position were we have to cane it to keep up.

    Fi, it's still in the hands of DVLA. Sort of hoping to pick it up on Thursday or Friday this week, but in all honesty I seriously doubt it will be back that soon. So probably next Thursday or Friday.

    Because of the distance to Menzies and our (weekend) days being Thurs and Fri, those are the only days we will be able to pick it up.
