Took the 75, freshly shod with some quite funky Marangoni tyres up to

Surprisingly traffic-free run and I can report that, although the
Marangonis aren't as grippy as P6000s, they're very forgiving, meaning I
was a lot more confident in getting a boot full of power down coming out
of the bends.

Did around 120 miles all-in but came back with a blowing exhaust.

Getting a pair of ramps tomorrow to investigate.

Today I did a rather splendid 140odd miles from just outside Glasgow to
Lochailort in the MX-5 with the roof down.

There were lots of bank holidaymakers driving about.

I overtook them.

All of them.

Escaped then? I'm off to an entirely new (to me) hospital on Wednesday -
all the way in Birmingham (Heartlands if anyone knows it - if it's a
shithole I don't wanna know :-) ), for some reasonably very major surgery on
my back on Friday, the plan been to remove everything they think they've
killed. Game on. I hope I'm still bendy enough after to buy the car I lust
over, otherwise I'll have to get an S2000.
