Picked up my Cesil Today It's Snow Joke
Or Snow Joke part 2!
Was awoken this AM at 5:50 by one of my engineers saying he couldn't get his van off the drive to go to a job in London. Had a look out of the window and circa 5 inches of snow had fallen overnight! Has this was the day I was driving 320 miles round trip to collect my CSL I was a little concerned.... So, bite to eat and get the part ex (R32) out of the garage to drive down sarf! R32 coped excellently with the local snow (motorways were OK) and I was Guildford way by 10:30. Cesil was clean and dry in the dealers garage. After a bit of paperwork and a coffee I was on my way back home. I must say, my new steed coped well - a steady 80 or so on the way back and by the time of my return, the roads at home were more RWD friendly! A quick pressure wash to get rid of the salt and he's tucked up in my garage! 30.2MPG! that was better than the Golf on the way down. PICS etc to follow and no doubt more questions |
