General Pre-Christmas Southern Coastal Cruze anyone . . .

[Johnbee]

Poppi was filthy so I have just cleaned her as a sorry to John for taking the keys off him yesterday and bombing up and down the beach and smothering her in mud.

Although I am sure he enjoyed it just as much.

Mind you James done it in total style

If you're gonna do it, you gotta do it properly!

I was surprised to see Poppi out there! still, it was a good laugh, most fun bit of driving i've done in a long time

We had the discussion on the way back wondering how many people was shocked to see Poppi being ragged about. She is a tough old girl and loved every moment of it although she still has the stone in the exhaust and it is blowing yet again so will sort that after christmas.

next i am going to try getting John to agree on a stereo for poppi. Will use the excuse of the stone in the exhaust as it will hide the noise with a bit of music.

I did have poppi sliding about a bit yesterday on the sand but was gentle with her.

Toyota valeted my surf when it had a steering recall, wasn't it a pity I had recently been offroading

The valeter did not look a happy chappy when I collected it the next day !!!

Glad everyone seemed to enjoy the Cruze as much as us

Driven by our first attempt at arranging a meet (Driven . . . see what I did there ) we're thinking of arranging another meet in the Spring.

:idea: Maybe to St Margarets @ Cliffe, a place so southern that you can only get french phone reception. Stunning views too.

:idea: Possibly West Wittering, the beach that time really did forget. (Butlins wanted to by the land in the 60's iirc for a hi de hi type camp but the local church bought the land) The views are to die for. Dunes, beachuts and BBQ's allowed.

Or :idea: maybe an easter egg hunt somewhere

Watch this space . . .
