Left the holiday lodge in Staffin on the Isle of Skye yesterday and drove the 395 miles back home with the odd stop to unseize my right leg driving the auto Connie ( the tourer changed her mind and didn't want to go by telling me her starter motor was going to play up on the night before ! )
The weather has certainly tested the car with the gales , snow and sleet all the way up the east coast of Scotland , across the top and down the west . I tried some Captain Tolly's around the recommended areas of the boot to cure the swimming pool effect and it stayed bone dry ! My only issue probably down to the soaking was the number plate lights going off and the message annoying me on the dash. First they both went off then by Fort William the nearside had come back on. Got to Luss and it had gone off again and the offside had come on. Stopped at Hexham and they were both back on and have stayed working today !
