Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Earlier this evening in Salisbury. I stopped to give way at a roundabout and saw a red car with pop-up headlights to my right, assumed it was an MX5 until it passed in front of me. (Like me had the roof down despite it getting dark and chilly!) K___LAP, not one I recognise.
