So, it's been a while since the last update, but since then Topsy has had her first blast down the A1 and back, roughly about 350 miles without a hitch, and we had a great time in Corby visiting me brother...
Topsy also taken the girls on a couple of road trips - up to near Alston with Belle's best mate who's also into rocks, and we found lead ore, fossil's and fluorite, and all the girls got very wet and muddy. We were joined up in the hills by my mum and dad in their sporty car, and Rog n Rob on the bikes, Topsy took the longest to get home, but we did stops off in Hamsterly Forrest...
Topsy then took us to the forbidden corner - with Barbara's best mate, and again Topsy performed marvelously and didn't break down once! Good old Topsy! OH, and the forbidden corner is well worth the money, I'd recommend it to everyone!
Topsy then took Belle and two of her mates through Hamsterly Forrest, up Weardale, to see the fossilised tree at Stanhope, then over the hills towards teesdale where we stopped for hot chocolate (it was very very cold on the moors!).
Also, Topsy has had her first crash (notice that Topsy had her first crash, as though it was nothing to do with me - who was driving), she reversed into a, well, I'm not saying what she reversed into, but we thought it was only cosmetic damage, a bit of paint sheared off hear and there and everything elss was ok ...
... and it was, until the bumper fell off on the way to darlington, only on one side though and I managed to bodge it for the return journey with cable ties, clever little me!
So, no pictures of Topsy at the moment, not whist she's looking slightly poorly! And also no new-old mini, I've put that project on hold till Topsy is better!
Anyway, it's all systems go over the next couple of weeks, so a merry christmas and happy new year from Topsy, and all of us!!!!
And here's looking forward to many many more adventures in 2008....
