    Car looks great and I hope the fuel bill wasn't too painful. Did you have a good Hol?

    Glad you had a good un. We go 15 miles from Home on the 18th. We have so many animals that one of us has to come Home everyday, and my mrs won't drive any further than where we go. V70 T5 to tow the caravan as that's the only car with a towbar on, and then swap that for the R as that's the only car with working aircon which I need for the dogs if it's warm.

    We will be out on the Fylde, North Lancs and hopefully the lakes.

    The roof box is OK though? I have a rescued pigeon in a rabbit hutch in my back garden. The mrs found it down Blackburn town centre when it was a baby but it's time to release soon. You're not coming near me with your roofbox I hope as I'd like it to live?
