Sunny Day Out

It was such a nice day, we went out for a little drive.  We drove through some of the lovely villages of Kent, including Biggin HIll and Downe.

Ready for a day out in the sun

 

 

We made our way to a great pub we found a few weeks ago, called The Old Jail, in Biggin Hill.  We had a lovely meal, and we were surrounded by retired military vehicles.  There were a bunch of Land Rovers in full regalia, and was really neat to see how the vehicles were restored and still looked rough - like they just came off the battlefield.  Really cool!

We founds some back roads, with lots of twists and blooming trees.

We then found our way to Otford, a lovely little village with plenty of pubs and cute shops.  We ended up in The Bull, a lovely haunted pub, and had some lovely puddings.  In the car park, we came across another MX-5.  This one hadn't had any suspension work done to it, so I had to take a picture to see what the difference is between Hugo's and a standard suspension.

As you can see, it makes quite a difference!
We made our way home, through some more back roads, and a quick blast down the M25 - a bit chilly with the hood down, so I stayed around 60mph.
Hugo performed well, but it seems to have developed a squeak in the front end after some of the bumpy roads.  I think I might need to tighten things up in the front suspension before the next day out.
