Took the Jimjam to my parents for dinner... No I went for dinner my parents and took the Jimjam to get there in! I didn't set a place at the table for the Jimjam!

Then after I fancied a drive to see how she goes on a main road at speed these days as its only been used locally for a while. So I took it up to the M25 & back & it goes lovely & seemed to feel better for being used!

It makes me happier about our Lakes trip later in the year as we are doing it in one go without a break, so about 8 hours in one stint! Then maybe Le Mans in June will be perhaps 6 hours if I take the Jimjam.

It's going well at the moment too. No steering wheel shake to speak of although on the odd occasion it has a little but then it won't do it for a fair while. I suspect it might be road surfaces rather than the car. It maintains 60mph unloaded, so that's reasonable considering the weight & tyre size.
