We're about to leave for this year's November Sun Run, this time it is Champagne to the High Jura. Really looking forward to seeing those parts of France and Germany that are a bit off the normal tourist trail. It covers some of the classic 50's and 60's rally routes which should be good.
The DS has performed magnificently again this year but not without her problems. The latest was another ignition barrel catastrophe. The replacement barrel that I bought back in Spring failed just last week. This was a real problem, not least because it gave us 7 days to sort it before needing to leave for France.
Michael the Magician did some sterling work, cracking on into the night to come up with a rather elegant fix - we tore out the entire ignition barrel and steering lock and installed an electrical cut off, ignition switch and starter button. It works like a dream and the new bespoke loom seems to carry much more power meaning start ups are much cleaner and easier.
That's about it for now, still a few jobs to go but come Sunday morning we'll be heading to Hull for the ferry to Belgium and then we get cracking. Updates to follow.
