Yesterday was a glorious sunny day and everyone it seemed was outside enjoying the first real hint of summer. We decided to take the Colonel out for a run, give the engine a good blast and just enjoy a lazy Sunday drive in the country.
It seemed we weren't the only ones - we were sharing the road with hundred's of motorbikes, caterhams, MGs, kit cars, Morgan's, and plenty of campers, including a bay window and a split window VW (both immaculate, and we got our first camper wave from the splitty!)
It was the longest drive we have taken it on, and it was relatively problem free. The battery needed charging after being sat all winter, but apart from that there were no issues. Nick drove, he said it drives well (considering he usually drives an automatic) but we probably will look at servicing/upgrading the brakes. As one blog writer wrote, you don't so much as apply the breaks but make appointments with them weeks in advance.
Although I haven't driven it yet, I already love being a passenger - it is impossible to go fast, allowing you to look around you and enjoy the view. Apart from the odd cycle - there was never anyone in front of us!
