I passed a white one - yes, we did wave

They are few, and far between.
Incidentally, driving on good A roads, suits the car perfectly, IMO. 55-60 mph, and the average mpg gradually ticks up. We are on 39.4 mpg, so far, after 865 miles since collection.

Finally, I have seen another Gen4 on the road.
I passed a white one - yes, we did wave- on the Bridgenorth /Much Wenlock road A458, yesterday, late morning. A glance at the trip readout, showed 800 miles on the clock, travelling from the North East of Scotland down to the Midlands, and, in and around Birmingham.

I got a funny story too. I live in Nuneaton, and on Tuesday's I run a course in Leamington Spa. About a month ago I'd just finished for the day and was sitting on a bench outside the church (watching pigeons pecking the floor, looking at lovely lady's walk by, wondering where my bloody Jimny was etc etc). Just as my minds thoughts went from some lady's legs to my Jimny............ A BLUE JIMNY PASSED BY. I thought i was going nuts and hallucinating

Small world.

I am occasionally amused by place names, Andy, yours is one of those, "NunEaton".
Begs the question is there a Nun-Oxford, or a Nun-Cambridge?
You can laugh at out local motto:
"Bassendean, We're all here 'cause were not all there" .
Yes, it is a strange one. There was a day, not that long ago, where I knew exactly why it was called NunEaton. But unfortunately all my knowledge and common sense has now been overtaken by my Jimny obsession

Summit to do with Nuns eating, yes something like that

I know exactly what you mean. I go to bed at 5:00 and up again at 11:30 to read/write to these Jimny-obsessives on the other side of the planet........ But unfortunately all my knowledge and common sense has now been overtaken by my Jimny obsession
No joke, I really have forgotten.
Its 1:30 now time to sleep.
I can relate mate

"Was it You"? the thread began. Today I saw a new model Jimny (silver)complete with roof rack had made it as far as driving into the third world. Whether that vehicle and occupants ever return to civilisation as we know it remains to be seen. So if it was you that entered Glasgow, I trust you are safe and well. P.S. Thought the roof rack looked an excellent fit, although some natives may have confused it for a climbing frame/vantage point after you parked up.
A classic case of "thread drift", Bill.



The natives would think the roof rack was an easy access delivery service.

We are heading up by Lichfield today, via M42/A38. That 100 mile round trip will take us over the 1000 mile mark. 39.4 mpg from the Auto.

As that engine loosens up you might expect to see a few more mpg appearing if running on the main roads - but that's a pretty decent score you are getting from an auto.
