Planes, trains and automobiles

This week promises to be a pretty full week of travelling round the country with trips to Birmingham, Sherston, Purley, Maidstone, Liverpool, Wakefield and Bradford scheduled.

With such an Odyssey before him he was keen to get a good start and things took a rather cheeky turn for the worse Monday morning when, as he motored up to Birmingham, the tyre on a van in front of him exploded battering his car with bits of rubber and slightly disarming him.



Having thrown that excitment at him the M5 clearly felt guilty and served up a Jaguar XJ220 for him to follow (well overtake actually) for the rest of the trip to Brum. The motorway was even more generous and threw up the same car for the trip back south that evening. Lucky boy.
