Spent yesterday morning travelling to the big smoke, total journey time 1 hr 45 mins.
Left the office at 15:30 in the rain and didn't get home till 19:00 - 3.5 hours! 
Even got bored of finding the big puddles to splash through whilst every other  on the road decided they were going to slow down and move to the middle.
Now i'm gonna get the car ready for the missus in the morning as she's taking the hound to Three Counties.

On Friday Towed Trailer from Bournemouth to Machester dropped off two large cylinder heads.
Proceeded to Blackburn and collected a Gardner 8LXB engine in bits.
Drove back home to Bournemouth. 640 miles in total. 29.6 MPG on way up and 27.8 MPG on way back with trailer and engine weighing just over two tonnes.
Couldnt find a garage open on the A34 after 9 pm and drove 24 miles with the range at 0. Eventualy found a garage open in Didcot town centre - thought I was going to be walking home
Why does the range drop from 70 miles to 0 in about 25 miles?
Never towed that sort of distance before but what agreat car for towing.
Current Disco 3 Base manual now done 22,000 miles. Collecting new TDV6 XS Auto in Java Black sometime next week. Kevin
