Went to a small local show that I heard about on the grapevine, at a place called Path Head watermill, a beautiful setting a few miles from my place, but somewhere I'd never heard of or visited. It was a nice enough day, but the turnout was poor, mainly due to there being several other better advertised car events on that day. Still, as a venue for walking the dog and getting a coffee if nothing else, it was a nice discovery to find pretty much on my doorstep.The cars were generally in lovely nick, the X19 was immaculate.The MR2 was interesting to me, not just as a fellow owner, but also for

It's April, I'm not in Southampton working, the forecast is good and there's a car meet to go to. That means one thing. Prep the Evo for it's first drive of the year, and tax it. Not as straightforward as it sounds, given the garage it resides in was looking like an explosion in a B&Q factory, the Evo itself was full of house renovation bks, due to the fact I'm currently renovating 2 flats and until recently storage was a headache.Not any more though, as I'm the proud owner ( well renter ) of yet another garage where I live, so I spent the afternoon relocating house crap from my house garage to me rented one a couple off doors up. I finally have enough garage space to house all 5 vehicles, 3 at home, and the 2 I rent are 27 ft deep, meaning a significant amount of extra space even with a car or van in there.So, finally extricated and taffied up in preparation for what I hope won't turn to to be some sort of benevolent fund for the local police. This meet isn't one I've attended before, it involves an initial meeting place, then a drive out to what used to be the site of the highest caff in the UK before it burnt down, and from experience has some roads that are very much Evo territory. My concern with these things is always the same, the standard of driving from those who aren't minded to keep their speed out of the view of other none sympathetic observers, and there's a guilt by association element if you're in a convoy of this type. I'll wing it, and if I don't like the look of it, I'll sod off and do my own thing. Having just been and had a look, the Evo still has half a tank of Shell 99 octane in it. That'll be at least 6 months old now. I'll try and burn off as much of that as possible, probably tonight after I finish typing this, so I can brim it with fresh later on and not worry about driving it hard tomorrow if the opportunity presents itself. I'm not prone to enjoying early starts, so I'll get that out of the way tonight I think!It's taxed for another 6 mon
