No, honestly, the road was closed to make repairs to a railway bridge. Here is my Jimny at the end by another bridge further up the line:

and there was this quaint old sign on a gate next to there:

So that's you having to take the Jimny out every day to check when the road re-opens, sounds like a good excuse me :laugh:

Unfortunately not, it was only for one day!

That doesn't mean I have to go by road - I could go by Byway just because I can!

So the Jimny has passed it's MOT with no issues for another year! So it jolly well should as it doesn't go anywhere yet still gets pampered!

I plan to go to Wales Rally GB in it in November as you can park much closer to the stages when you can park more off road than a normal car would dare!

I shall treat it to an oil change before then most likely as although it has barely done 2000 miles since the last oil change, my understanding is that oil breaks down over time and it won't do it any harm!

It will take a fair time to get to mid Wales in it though but my everyday car is now an E46 BMW 320i saloon that I have just lowered on Eibach springs as we are expecting our first child in January and a car with 4 doors will be required!

I took the Mrs 325i the last time I went to the Rally as the Jimny decided 1 hour into the journey that one of the rear wheel bearings had enough! They have been replaced now so I hope not to have any issues this time around. The car parks and the access roads to the stages are very rough so the Jimny will walk over them like they are tarmac whereas the Beemers will struggle, especially mine now. It will be nice to put it to good use too.

I purposely kept the rear seats in the Jimny in order that we could take our children greenlaning when we have them. That looks to have been a wise decision.

It was a year ago I had my Stroke on 13/10. A year that has passed quite quickly and a time I would like to forget. Forgetting is impossible though as I am on lifelong medication from it and still seeing my Consultant for check ups.

I have not visited the forum for a while as we have been busy with a holiday, my BMW, planning baby stuff and decorating the room for him/her.

I'll take some photos in Wales no doubt. If any of you are going to the Rally and see me there with the Jimny, be sure to say hello!
