V8
goes East - Bob Owen reports Bob
and Carolyn Owen have travelled out to Greece with
the MG Italia tour. From the reports from Gordon Hesketh-Jones who is out there
on his way through on his epic tour, the MG Italia has proved very enjoyable.
Here Bob sends a short report as the event ends and he prepares for the route
back via Switzerland. (13.5.05) Yes, all
going well. The car has been behaving well (except for brake judder) and the new
fluid sensor is working properly. It has been a very good trip - good organisation,
good food, good weather, good company, good scenery, good wine - but all good
things must come to an end and, after seeing Olympia today, we board the ferry
to return to Ancona. Gordon and Jennifer will travel on to eastern Europe.
After
the ferry lands we will make an autostrada dash for Milan where we'll spend two
nights, courtesy
of our prospective son-in-law (Italian) followed by a day in Switzerland with
an old school friend who's lived there for 30 years and who I've not seen in all
that time. I think more |
wine
and reminiscence will be the order of the day. Then a couple of days sauntering
through France before our Dover ferry on Friday. Will email again if
the opportunity occurs - photos, maybe, later.
