Concerning the german Autobahn: it’s not the cars , it’s the people in the cars that make things difficult. And a „run-away-car“ like an Audi S3 has got the same problems like a Morris if a slow going car is ahead. I use the Autobahn extremely seldom with my Traveller but I feel safer in a car with more power specially in case of overtaking in a right hand driven car in german traffic.

I had to jump into my modern Citroen this morning as there was a problem with the tyres so had to drive it up to the tyre place…. It felt like a snail compared to Nell

The previous seller told me she can comfortably do 60, and will do 70…. eventually
Tbh I have no plans to go racing around. Most of the places I’ll be driving unless I do a trip are 30 or 40 mph. She’s fast at pulling out which is great news for where I live, means I can keep up with the flow

Smart car. I actually passed you the other day you were going towards Tesco.

I’ve seen a couple of moggies in my area but not many! I wonder if I’ve seen you around? What do you have? If it’s the one in your pic I don’t recall seeing that (I would definitely remember!)-

Re: Some pics of Nell’s mods!
Yes it's the one in the picture. Was in the modern when I passed you.
I rebuilt it in 1990. It's only used for local shows now.
I've seen a couple of Travellers running round Basildon and a Saloon parked down a side road.

Re: Some pics of Nell’s mods!
You’ve done a lovely job, she looks great from the pic!
I’ve seen a maroon traveller (which was what started this whole thing off ) and I spotted a cream van a few weeks ago. Not seen a saloon… but I shall keep my eyes peeled!
I can’t wait to spot another moggy on the road while I’m in mine
Hopefully catch you at a show sometime. If I’m feeling confident enough when they start up I’d love to take Nell!
