I took Vicky for a heck of a spin this afternoon through Wrynose Pass in the lake District.
For those who don't know that area its extremely steep (30% in parts) and twisty. Unbelievably its not a 1 way road either..
I haven't done it for years and I have to confess I did NOT actually enjoy it..
Car was getting very hot.. It smelt like burnt biscuits (Oil Temp was 123C)..
She behaved faultlessly but due to the amount of oncoming cars/ Vans I wont be doing it again in a hurry!!
