Taken this week in the Pyrenees.

I certainly wasn’t disappointed! It is out on its own without many other equivalent passes nearby which is why I favour the Swiss passes but in isolation Grossglockner is a special place to be.

Thanks Major Tom. It is a drawn out process but worth it with as much of a change as this has gone through. Last night I set about installing an apple car play unit that I took a punt on from Ali Express. I didn’t realise that the back of the cabin had to be taken apart to get to the headunit...

After being away for a few days over Easter I have come back and have started to fettle with the car. The roof has now been cleaned and fabsil gold applied which gives a satisfying beading effect. Dodging in and out of the showers I had to do this over 2 days and it was interesting to see the...
