What I did with my Rover 75/MG ZT today?
Drove 1,500 miles to the Sierras outside Madrid in the Copperleaf automatic - quite a nice ride. Pouring rain all through France last week but 34 deg C here. Only casualty so far appears to be the brand new rear number plate from Demonplates seems to be delaminating (only been on for a month) - I guess a combination of lots of water followed by dry heat.
Off to Ubeda then Seville later in the week and start driving back in the weekend.

Always fancied driving down through France, across Spain to Oporto in Portugal, and driving up the coast, back along the top of Spain. Got the time, but not the money. Ahh well, have to do with France this year then. sigh!! Hope you enjoy your drive in the Malta saver.

I think it's staying for a while yet.
Might have a bit of a project for you soon, just got to let the wallet recover from the V8 purchase. (I'd like to change the look of the lights, when I decide exactly how, I'll drop you a pm) |

Just arrived home after having my Tony Banks Longlife turbo back Full Stainless Exhaust fitted, here are a few pics. Fantastic job, well pleased. His brief was to replicate the original with two silencers & down turned exit pipes & as quiet as possible.
