| For the second weekend running we went out on our bikes  This time it was a shorter trip around some of the Hampshire country side. When we got back I got out my first two wheeled 'green machine' - see below. Gave it a little run - first of the season   All I now need is a good dry, sunny and warm day to give both a clean. PS Whilst the Mini is my daily driver I have yet to put any fuel in it as it was delivered with a full tank  ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017

| Our 8 year old Renault Megane, bought from new, has served us very well and has done exactly what it was bought for - to be an all purpose 'a to b' vehicle carrying whatever to wherever we needed it to. Today we traded it in for something a bit funkier so we are now a 2VW household!    ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com

| Very nice. I do like those. Mrs B had a red soft top in the previous style but I much prefer the new ones.

| FAB BUG How about simply 'BUGS' as an option on the name. Whatever you decide it'll be right when you find it. Have fun. ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017

No charge for the new car advice either as long as you take me for a spin! I'm sure that can be arranged. ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com

| I got my new Polo GT, its done 6 days and is now back in for warranty work, should have seen the receptionists face, I got it with 65 miles on 30/03 then when I dropped it off today she said I bet its done hardly any miles, to which my reply of 2645 stunned her! as I drove it straight to Barcelona and back! steering controls inc horn and cruise have died and the back bumper is not fitted properly!  | |

| I love those beetles we had a new shape T1??! 57 plate in blue, simply best roof down car available in my opinion due to a pillar being so far forward  Polo has joined the test fleet now and I fancied a road trip it took me 14 hours Manchester to Sitges out and 15 hours sitges (Barcelona) to Manchester home but I stopped on the way back in valence way out was hardcore one hit!! | |

Very nice! Is that a 40th edition? Always had a wee hankering for a mini 30. At one point we had his n hers minis, a tahiti and an open classic. Those were the days! Hang on......we've gone full circle and are back to his n her minis, although not sure if a clubman and a roadster really meet the criteria of mini! | |
