So yesterday I got to have some quiet time at home. No one in so I had a BBQ after a training session.

This was my table

This was after a good munch with no one to tell me off for eating so many animals.

Nomnomnom

Sensitive!

Well Part 1 went ok;

That's one Nissan Sunny, 2 CX bonnets, 2 CX doors, 1 CX grille and a Sunny door and tailgate (plus some other crap) loaded up in Brentwood ready to go to Danbury, after dragging it out of the garage to un-seize the brakes.
ps Phil was generally unimpressed with the Sunny (understandable) but was impressed by its party piece!

This was spotted just as we were about to drive off from the barn after dropping everything else off

Then Part 2 being loaded up ready to go.

That's one CX (plus a boot full of spares) 1 CX tow bar (and when I say towbar, I don't mean what you normally think of as a towbar!) and 1 CX bonnet good to go, from Chelmsford to Danbury. Shortest run of the day.

Plan from that point was to collect Lisa on the way, drop the CX off in the barn and have dinner at the nice pub nearby it.

The Plan then changed course 'slightly' - the CX did eventually make it into the barn basically unscathed, but that was via tank slappering the Disco/trailer/CX combo 180 degrees on a dual carriageway into the arnco

Phil has the action shots, if he feels inclined to post them... (which I don't mind - jobby happens)

That happened about 8pm, it was about midnight by the time that we got back to my place after clearing up the mess, dropping the CX off etc.

Can only say massive thanks to Phil and Lisa for their help and apologies for the unplanned 'excitement' - was having a great day up until that point!

This morning I had the pleasure of dropping the Land Rover and trailer back to my mate and explaining that my intention had actually been to wash and clean it before dropping it back full of diesel and beer, but unfortunately things changed somewhat...

We don't have a sheepish smilie, do we

was trying to work out what you spotted was it that there is no rope holding the bonnet to the roof?
