Nice ride out



Took the restored LE out for a good ride today. 150 miles down to
Lynmouth and back, Porlock Hill was interesting, it steepens up to 1 in
4 after a tight bend and I needed to change down into a rather baulky
1st gear. On the return I followed a bus up Countisbury, also 1 in 4,
and was boiling nicely by the time the bus struggled to the top.

Apart from that, fuel consumption was a tad poor at just over 60 MPG, I
am glad to report that the brakes bedded in nicely and no longer need
advance written warning.
I've got a mostly complete Vogue sitting in the garage that I've had for a
few years and have just decided I'm never going to have the time to
restore. The Financial Director (SWMBO) has just agreed to funds for me to
pay someone to do it so I hope it will be back on the road in the not too
distant future. Are the brakes really as bad as the reviews I've read say
they are?
