A Wee Road Trip...

After my Mother-in-Law decided to spend more time looking at a tractor, and not at the car in front which had stopped, she required a new car... So, having given me the nod to get her one, I started looking...

Never content to do the simple thing, I found the perfect car for my Mother-in-Law, but it was not exactly close. So, after some questioning and additional photos, I planned my trip, which amusingly, covered evey aspect of transport I could find:

- Walking
- Bus
- Train
- Plane
- Ferry
- Driving

Anyway... From this photo, you can probably guess where I went:

(And no, I couldn't very well get my Mother-in-Law a Starlet could I?)

So, the opportunity to visit someone who I've talked to for a long time was too great, and after a stunning drive down the lough and along the sea, I found myself here:

Very graciously, my welcoming hosts provided a bed for the night, plenty of beer, lots of talk regarding setting the world right together with all things EP, and a full-chat run in the 5E K26. What more could hosts offer? :D I also managed to pick up a part that I've need, and get angry with my poor showing on the GT4 challenge leaderboard...

So, after all that, it was just a case of the ferry back to Stranraer, and an 8 hour journey back home again.

I'd just like to say thanks to Jay for being a very gracious host, and it was good to finally meet you at last! The favour will always be returned should you ever find yourself in my part of the world...

Yeah, Jay said you were turning up shortly, but had to dash to get the ferry... As for keeping schtum, no worries... ;)

Couldn't hang around chap, got in to Stranraer at 4:30pm, and with a constant speed slightly above the legal limit (plus a Kentucky stop-off), I still didn't get home until 12:30am!

Glad to be of help Mark, was about time I put a face to the username! :)

You certainly got the weather for it. Was another blinder today so got plenty more done.

Hope the 5E wasn't too underwhelming, that poor car suffers from too much hype for it's own good. As for GT4 - I managed a 1.14 after you left so get practising! :haha:
