Default Quick Sprint Toward Arctic Circle

Well from where I live it's in that direction.

Last Sunday drove to Durham, wipers on when I left home, switched them off when I arrived up there.
Overall 700 miles, and the car missed not a beat, I was well chuffed as this was the major test for me of my head gasket job.
My Aunt directed me up some testing roads in the Dales, easily sorted.
Just back this evening, and she put up with the crazy blocks and diversions around the M1 and the A413 without a murmur.

Good to hear Fred. These 1.8t’s are good engines.

You haven’t been to the arctic circle if you’ve only been to Durham Fred. Had you travelled 20 miles further north, to my territory a month later, you WOULD have experienced the arctic. It would feel like that to you, being used to the warmer climes of the south of the country. Had you visited Brian for a t4 session though, he would still be in a t shirt .
