Nice! The wedding venue turned out to be about 14k further up a gravel mountain track from the satnav destination and we had great fun sliding the big Holden around. Mrs Hammer managed to almost beach it on a couple of crests so Iām quite glad we paid for zero excess - the underneath was not pretty!

That sounds like a lot of fun! You back in Blighty now?
Everything got changed on the sad dad car, next jobs are new engine mounts and front rotors and pads... That can wait til the next service but one tyre is dead so new set of boots going on this week... We might even do the other jobs now as well, just so they're out of the way... Car feels very throaty now, it really purrs when I put my foot down... I guess it's only a small car with a 2 litre engine so it will have a bit of oomph... Need to get it on the highway, downloaded Waze yesterday so might be able to see how fast it can go... š

Took the sad dad car up a mountain today, can't say it was a rally car experience but it was really fun going up very steep gradients and twisty turns in a car as opposed to a bike... Much easier on the knees too...
Car has been holding up well, going in for a service tomorrow so I can get the brake pads changed and see what else needs looking at... I don't think we'll have this car for long, we were talking about our next car on the drive and the enemy has already vetoed a Forester (old lady car) in favour of a ute...
Who am I to argue? š
