John K Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Due to a monumental diary screwup, my SOH needed the Mundane at the same time I had to go to the chiropractors. So I ended up taking Mr Grumpy. And they have closed the A44 which is the only sensible way to get south for me. Which meant a spirited cross country, no sat nav, winging it blat against the clock. And being 1,000% honest, you all know I love Mr Grumpy, but I 'probably' would have swapped him for an RS6 this morning... It would have been nice to have been able to mash the loud pedal without having to condsider if it was sensible or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Gibney - Lancashire AO Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I regularly go to work in mine, leaving home at 5.15 am . Loud pedal not a problem if I am up then so is everyone else........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John K Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 LOL, I wasnt worried about the noise, more that the surface of the back lanes are rough as a badgers and there is lots of horse muck and mud about. And always on the apex. So it made for an interesting live rear axle trip. With added "rabbits nose"..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Note of caution here (party pooper hat on, sorry) - if your insurance on your Westfield says social and domestic only, you're not covered driving to or from work! Make sure you're covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
