Got my nashers (implants) done on sat and took a days leave to chill and "recover"

Seeing as I had nothing to do all day. Filled up the Clio and did a nice 143.6 mile round trip for the sake of it.

The cabin smelt fresh thanks to this ace air freshener.

Went from Derby upto Matlock then carsington water through the peaks to Sheffield then back through Chesterfield via KFC and home.

Sometimes it's ace ain't it just to go on a drive on your own for no reason. I didn't even hardly boot it. Just trundled along listening to talk sport. Was quite a bit of snow up in the peaks as well. Should of took more photos but you know.

I wish the Lake District wasn't a popular tourist destination. There's some really good roads here but during the spring and summer they're flooded with cars, then during the winter they're flooded with water.

Every now and then, as if by luck, a random drive will take place that's pure magic. It's a feeling only an enthusiast will experience.

One of the benefits of living here in Wales... some epic roads and not very much traffic at all :) If only I had a Trophy to make the most of them... :p

The other half has a brand new C Max, gutless but comfortable and economical to drive.

I still would chose to drive the Trophy no matter where I am heading, you cannot beat the smile it puts on your face on a twisty country road.
