Feyrac

Beynac

Les Millandes

And, Le Peytol. My family place:

It was an okay trip. I realise the Little Growler is old. 15 years is a while in car terms. All the bits that wear in the steering and suspension, plus the engine and transmission mounts need replacing, but only really noticeable at 90

Back at the shuttle after a really enjoyable week. Really fun, sunny, topless driving. I think I’m tanned for about the third time in my life.
Did the whole of the French leg topless on the motorway and including a brief stop to have coffee with my daughter averaged 37 MPG!
Apart from needing to put a litre of oil in when I get home, the wear and tear sees to have been négligeable. Have to get rid of the bugs though
