Spring has Sprung

The season, that is, not a part of the suspension....

Beautiful Spring day, went for a nice long drive at lunch. The odometer now reads just five shy of 1000 miles (or some 1600 kilometers) since the restoration was basically completed at the beginning of last year. The Land Rover was happy to be out in the still-cool air, and would have roared along at 80-90 kph all day long if I hadn't had to go back to work.

Below: Zooming  along, with very little traffic.

On the way back, stopped at daughter's school as it was lunchtime and I knew they'd be outside. Lots of waves and shouts and smiles from the whole playground (almost everyone, including the teachers, already knows the vehicle by sight - not a lot around!). I passed the camera over, and someone snapped this pic of myself and daughter, plus her friend Aurelie. What you can't see is the crowd behind the camera, with whom I am pleading not to drop the aforesaid camera.... : )

Not looking too bad after a great winter of driving. Radiator muff rolled down. If the warmer temperatures keep up, the muff can come off soon.
