Hello everyone! Remember me? Well, the faithful old M5 is still here and has had almost another year of fun pass under its wheels since the last update. To be honest, there’s not been a massive amount to report really, but I like to keep this thread updated from time-to-time As is becoming something of an annual tradition, I fitted the roofrack and took the M5 to pick up a Christmas tree late last year (as is the usual time of year to do these things, I understand). It won’t be long before the lads can help me strap it down – until then, I’ll make do with mild heckling.Whilst I mostly work fro

Adventures of leggy M5s continued…Back in May, one of my eldest sons managed to poke himself in the eye with a stick – with enough force that warranted a trip to the eye clinic at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford. Anyone who’s had the pleasure of dealing with the JR’s carpark will no doubt understand my pride at this particular parking job…No under-trays were harmed. And he was also fine, the little pillock Fast forward a few weeks, and I had cause to meet up with my buddy Pete (pistolpete12 of this parish) and head up to that there Yorkshire and poke around a friend’s new project house. His little K-swapped MR2 is a proper mental little thing That was it for a few weeks, until I had the opportunity for another little road trip poke its head above the parapet in the form of a little working holiday. First up, we need a sticker….And, of course, the obligatory tunnel shot:The first stop was a night in Bruges – a beautifully scenic place with some very tight underground parking …and a couple of interesting little spots along the way:After that, it was back onto the motorway and up to Amsterdam for a few days. I’ve been to the Netherlands several times but this was my first time driving and, I have to say, it was a bit of a chore. 100km/h limits most of the way, scarce service stations and just enough traffic to not be able to relax into a cruise meant I’ll probably just take the plane next time, but nonetheless the old M took everything in its stride. After initially parking in The Wrong Place (and getting an 80 euro fine for my trouble…) I found a spot just outside the airBNB where it sat for a few days quite happily. Another canal-side spot:The drive back was a tad easier, but the tunnel was a complete st-show made slightly more palatable by being next to this lovely thing in the passport queue:We got home after 800 faultless miles, with the odometer showing a neat 189,250 miles. I still bloody love this thing.
