Well, either way, I'll be there in the morning to witness the demolition. In getting down here, I figured out why people stay in Coventry - it's because they can't face that ring road. Those junctions where people are coming on and off at the same place and crossing over are... interesting, and don't get me started on some of those roundabouts. The fact that my satnav kept losing signal around the flyovers and not being able to tell me which exit it wanted me to take really didn't help. Still, I eventually escaped and once I was on the M40 I calmed down.
Then I discovered that despite what I'd said to my instructor when doing my pass plus, my mini in the outside lane isn't at all unlikely. The car doesn't have much pull in fourth so if I end up having to slow right down because of trucks, it takes about a week to get back up to 70 and that's annoying for me and everyone behind me. After doing that a couple of times, I got a lot bolder.
Anyway, I'll report on tomorrow, but I won't be there Wednesday, as Dad decided he doesn't like the noise my car makes from the minute it took me to move it to a parking space he thought was better. It does make a bit of a racket, the carb's set up wrong so it's overfuelling and it's a bit tappety but without asking me he's booked it in for a service with some bloke he knows from the tandoori. I'm not happy about this, as I was going to take it to my mate, who's a mini specialist from a family of mini specialists, as he's got plenty of spares and would just advise and let me do the actual work myself. If he thinks I'm letting someone I've never met and who I know took four attempts to actually fix *dad's* car loose on it he's got another think coming, so I'm going to stay there with a book and insist they let me watch what they do.
Did anyone contact Rebecca about the things they made? I'm really not bothered about most things, but I'd not say no to one of the small gable-ended roof sections.
