Just been to the dentist. It's 8 degrees, it's bright and the sun is shining, the roads are bone dry, it's just one of those lovely Autumnal days. Thought I would take the long route to the Dentist via some A and B roads; forgot how well the Coupe goes when the air is cold and dense, absolutely loved every minute of it! laugh (and no fillings!)

Funnily enough I was out for road bike ride this afternoon. Pretty chilly out of the sun.....not as hardy as you lot up there! My neighbour when I got home said their maintenance chap had been and was fawning over my car, she mentioned he was saying something about 'Wheeler Dealers' and a blue one; she said it meant nothing to her and told him I had had the car for years and was always washing it!

Read your eBay post about the bonnet badges priced at £100 on eBay shocked so I have £400 worth in a drawer then! Cheapest new I saw on eBay was thirty odd quid.....Punto MK1 is identical too!

I love a fresh cold morning blast in my coupe, denser air = bigger smiles smile
