The striped one has a holiday, Euro Diary DAY 7

Well, day 7 and time to give the car a little love and pampering.
Things checked today:
Oil checked....no need to top up as level hasn't moved
Coolant....no need to top up as level hasn't moved
Washer fluid.... topped up as too much wildlife on windscreen
Front Tyre's sitting at 31.5 on both sides topped up to 32
Rear Tyre's sitting on 34 on both sides for fully loaded travel, reduced to 32 both sides
Also looking at the before cleaning and after cleaning pictures it really goes to show what a good wax and protection can do for your car as not much effort needed today to bring back the shine.
Covered no more than 20 miles today and she ran so well and even on ticking of over sounded as good as I have heard since I got the car. I guess having a really good run helps, although it hasn't been your average Sunday afternoon drive.
Tomorrow is a short drive to Stramberk to go fossel digging with kids (told the wife we can do that at home if we look in the bottom of the freezer) and then down to Koprivnice to meet some more family. Koprivnice has a fantastic Motor Museum dedicated to the Tatra car and truck maker which is well worth a visit (have been there several times already)

If you're interested in fossils, Blackgang coast on the Isle of Wight is a great spot

Enjoying following your journey.. Makes the 1863 miles that Redfive has just done up down and across the UK look like a trip to the shops..
Cheers Ian
