"Road dead flat, dead straight and dead boring. Car has done over 1500 since rebuild so gave it its head. Flat out the speedo was showing over 60 but according to navvy true speed was 91kph. Not bad though gor something with an aerodynamic profile of a barn door. Just stopped for fuel and a coffee.


Same old, same old. Have climbed four cols after the plains, the one in the photo at 1112m then three others at 1234m, 1162m and 1170m.
Just topped up levels, greased fan spindle and front end. Added 1/2 pint of oil for today's and yesterday's mileage, 740km, or 460 miles.

Day 7. Early start to get up and over the Pyrennees. Just been travelling due east fot the past 3/4 hour straight into the morning sun. Road very rutted due to heavy lorries. Have stopped for a break as its been s battle to keep the car on an even keel.

Through Andorra la Vell and on my way up the col d'envilara. 14km to go. Stopped off in town for a bite and a stretch. On y va!
