Twenty seven days into 2011 and I'm on programme !

I now have the windscreen corner trims

I've got a 2011 car target for you all. Get out a bit more and enjoy driving your car. It's much more fun outside the garage than in it

I've already failed in my 2011 target


I wanted to drive the car 365 days, but i left it at home for one day when the door locks were too frozen to get into the car - ahh well, the new target is a (much more) realistic 360 days!

That's a good target Dave.

PS Dico's target is to leave it in the garage for 360 days and drive it the other 5

By the way, my New Year target was to drive my Elan 50 days after my hip was replaced. And I did and, boy did it feel good

Hip-hip ...
Hooray.

Didn't know you had gone bionic. Hope it's not putting you off your stride in any way.
