ooh, sorry to give you the shudders there Ian!

Well, I picked the Sunbeam Rapier up last night at about 10.30pm from
Barnsley, and drove her back to Derbyshire - we nearly didnt make it
though, as at J33 of the M1 (Meadowfields Shopping Centre at
Sheffield) there was a huge accident right in front of us, with one
car rolling over and going on its side, cars and debris everywhere,
and then a Mercedes nearly swerved into me trying to avoid it all.  A
bit of a heart stopping moment in a car I'd only had a short test
drive in 2 nights before!

I drove her up to the show near Hull today and she gleamed all day in
the sunshine - Phill commented on the way back that he was getting
blinded following me in 'Sorbet' due to the sun glinting off the
Rapier's gleaming paintwork and chrome (bling?) lol :o)  She's covered
nearly 300 miles already in the last 24 hours, including attending the
weekly 'Notts Cruise' tonight and bar one or two little niggles which
should be easily sorted, she hasnt missed a beat and I'm well chuffed
with her.

Mind you, I'm missing Flopsy like mad and cant wait to get her back
next week :oD

Cheers,

Claire
