Title: Perfect day!
Post by: Chilli Girl on March 30, 2021, 17:36
For having Roadster. ::)   Hope you've all been out in yours and enjoying the sunshine.  I hope that Foxy has been stretching her legs today too. Saw loads of convertibles but not one Roadster of course :o

Sadly I didn't, 2 kids in tow, not likely to be viewed positively by the police having one in the footwell or strapped to the bonnet....

Not wanting to gloat but two perfect after work drives.  Yesterday the coast at Torquay, today a loop of Dartmoor. Perfect days indeed

Beáutiful morning here and forecast 27 degrees at the coast.
The justifications prepaired and car washed yesterday.
Wrote a just over 200 km route over the mountain backroads out for the charming company roadbook style. It is not thát long/complicated so no need to tape pages together and roll it in the display. Also, though most of the route is new to me, having prepaired it, can probably remember 90% of it.
Factor 50 on the face and off we gooooo.... 8)

We are enjoying her, she most def isn't a garage queen. Hardly touched my big family car in 4 months since owning Foxy.

Deb was a bit unsure at first as its very low to the ground and her legs were at a funny angle (LOL) when sitting in the passenger seat, however she looks forward to going out in Foxy now esp with the roof off.

She still hasn't driven Foxy yet though...work to do
