Took "Laury the Morry" for a bit of a run today. Had to pump up the brakes first as they had gone a bit low in pressure since the last time we went for a drive. I have a new kit of rubbers to fit to the brake system so will do that on the weekend, weather permitting. Car ran beautifully as usual.

Almost forgot, what do you think of sticking a UK flag graphic on the roof? Full roof cover, like the Mini's?
