A very enjoyable evening. Thanks for being this years DFV - and thanks for
the CIHAGM on the Versys.

Just over 400 for me, I believe.

Got all me landmarks, too.

Odd thing on the way home: coming down the A38, in roadworks,
following an old Volvo.

If I sat behind the nearside wheel, I could see the near side of the
car, and the back of the front wheel; when I swapped over to the
offside, I could see nothing.

It all looked a bit skew, iyswim.

Occasional twitchy movements on the steering seemed necessary, too.

Luckily, the 50mph avge speed nonsense soon ended, and I got well away
from the scene of the inevitable accident.

Oh, I must also confess to a bit of ytcishness on the M6 toll.

Saw the sign, telling me the toll plaza was in 5 miles, so I thought
I'd get off a the junction before, and avoid paying.

Wrong. �1.50. I also had to summon assistance, as the barrier came
back down before I'd put my wallet away.

Left the toll barriers, and the sodding road was closed due to an
accident, so I had to rejoin the M6(Toll), and pay another �2.50 to
get off after all.

Seems to work better at bending backwards as you connect with cars and
vans as opposed to being bent forward as it catches on the edge of the door.

It is the pod bit of the mirror snapped clean off at the join to the
stalk. Should glue together nicely if I knew anything about glueing.
