A little Eleanor update! 🇫🇷❤️
Despite all the hiccups, Eleanor did absolutely brilliantly on our French adventure! She certainly made us work for it at times 😅, but she got us there, got us home, and gave us plenty of memories along the way.
And I have to say a HUGE thank you to all of you! ❤️ I don’t know whether my editing is getting better, t…Read More![Profile Photo]()

Yes, very well spotted! 😅 These are actually from our trip to Northern Spain, which was Eleanor’s last big journey before we did all the upgrades. In fact, that trip is what started us thinking about what we needed to improve on the car! I guess long journeys with old cars don’t just help you build a connection with them, they also make sure you…Read More

Never been to that part of spain. Want to visit the Basque country myself. I like my seafood and San Sebastian is apparently the place to go.

So you already did the French rally? Did the car go well?

Yes, the rally is already done, but I’m not going to give you any spoilers, otherwise there won’t be much point in watching the videos! 😂 What I can tell you is, if you watched the rally with Gromit when he really misbehaved… this one was, if not worse, definitely on the same level. It was tough! 😅

An extraordinary moment for me and Auntie and for everyone who’s been following our journey!
Did it take longer than expected? Oh yes.
Was it worse than expected? Absolutely.
Did I learn from the experience? More than I could ever have imagined!
Perhaps that’s why this moment felt so special: we’d earned it. All of us. Auntie included, for p…Read More![Profile Photo]()

Thank you! That BMW is a dream , I couldn’t help but stare, lol! The P4 meeting was at Quainton Railway Centre (Buckinghamshire Railway Centre), and I did get a ride on a steam train…short, but better than nothing! Oh, cones on holiday and Auntie lurking, ready to take them for a spin! :))) we will blame Auntie :))))

Always nice to see a bit of steam. I likes the big roadgoing engines myself like what Fred Dibnah used to run.

I was told about this event a few days ago: https://www.roverp4dg.org.uk/index.php/events
I think it would be a fantastic opportunity to meet some fellow Rover P4 enthusiasts and take Auntie to see her brothers and sisters…I bet she hasn’t done that in a while!
Of course, there’s still a lot to do before she’s ready, but I’m going to try.…Read More

You will get there. Perhaps you can sweet talk Colin into doing a bit whilst you are away, i’m sure he won’t say no if there is a bottle of his chosen poison involved. Have a nice holiday.

Life is hard without our trusted friend, Graziano! 😅
If there’s one machine we use the most in the workshop, it’s this one!
It started cutting out, and then we noticed an oil leak. So, time to investigate! 🔧
I’m amazed by how complex it is, well, to me at least! 😂 This was actually the first time I’d ever heard of an electromagnetic clutch!…Read More
