The time has come to take the land barge on our annual pilgrimage to visit the sister in law, a round trip of 650 miles plus pottering about on the Cornish coast. Looking forward to getting behind the wheel again after its last outing at the national rally.
Anyone else getting away with theirs over the holidays? |

Hiya, Will be towing our caravan down to South West Wales with the family for a week at the start of the school holidays and the same trip again at the end of the hols. Probably about 1500 miles in total and with work duties, the 940 is doing about 6000 miles a year.

Unlikely this year, but it was used for a holiday to St Andrews last year to meet up with family friends and another camping trip to Alford.
It is great to be able to rely on such an old car and the space and comfort makes long trips a joy, not a chore. |

Will be taking my 36k mile Celebration estate cross country from Gloucestershire to East Anglia to visit family August bank holiday weekend. It always takes the journey in its stride very well.

Taking mine to a show this weekend, and visiting friends in the Tamar Valley and my Sister in the far west next month.

I’ve just done a basic service (oil, filters, plugs etc) on my new-to-me 740 saloon, picked it up from Basildon yesterday and drove it 200 miles back to home in West Dorset without missing a beat.
Tomorrow the proper road test begins...off to Carlisle and back, 700 miles. In at the deep end somewhat, but I’m confident...ish!
