Road trip!

Robert bought a new boot lid, (trunk lid), for his new experimental mini on Ebay.UK. So we jumped into the mini, (what else would we drive to another mini enthusiast’s?), and we drove 42 miles away to Old Stratford to pick it up.

Beautiful day for a road trip. We started off on the A40 (it’s a highway) but soon left the tall banks of the A for the scenic, smaller country roads. It’s great he had window tinting done, as itย keeps the heat and glare to a comfortable level in the car.

Today was perfect with that silvery, low, cold winter light.

We appreciated each village church,

…and we drove thru some flooded marsh lands which splattered the windshield and broke a fuse which cut the fuel pump and the indicators. Suddenly Robert was without power. We coasted to a stop and Robert rewired the fuel pump, started the mini and…

We found our destination, got the boot lid and turned round and headed for home under beautiful Buckinghamshire skies.
