The final tub for Penny

How convenient is that! The local Sainsbury’s (supermarket chain) has a crew of Polish car washers in the car park giving cars a wash and a polish for 9Quid! And they did a fantastic job as well, even gave her some wheel shine, probably the first time ever!

We also found out that all petrol stations over here have a filling limit of 100 liters on ultimate unleaded, not very handy when you have a 90 year old vintage rally car that has a 130 liter tank that needs to be filled. Not even counting the reserve tank of 60 liters in the back. Now im going to make a pretty safe bet and say that today’s picture of Penny right after her tub will be the last time she will look this clean and shiny for quit some time, no time for a cut and polish on the rally!!

Now, the first of January: If any of our followers/supporters are in london and fancy to see us off the start line, then there are two options. We are at Brooklands motor museum with scrutineering and breifings most of the day on Sunday the 1st and then the first car leaves at 4pm to head into the London start at Big Ben for an official 7PM start. There is a big carpark and starting gate being set up for us in the carpark of The House of Lords, you’ll see the press and visitors. We are the 11th car to leave so we’ll be gone by 7:10, be there earlier if you want a hug and a wave 😀 that would be much appreciated and welcomed.
