It's April the 1st so I bought my road tax on line this morning and took the car out for it's first run in 2009.
The car ran faultlessly and driving with the windscreen fitted is much more relaxed and less dramatic than wearing the goggles.
More wind on the back of the head than flies in the teeth! although my wife reported it as "less exciting"
I had raised and set my seat mounting at an angle over the winter so that I can see over the top of windscreen surround and wiper blades and the seat postion is now much better, although I think I can tip the seat back another few degrees to be perfect. Pauline also complains that she can't see over the windscreen wiper so i'll have to raise her seat as well!
Wipers and washers all working OK.
One of my speakers doesn't work and the front left and rear right seem to be wired together but I supspect its just some crossed speaker wires so another session upside down with my head in the passenger footwell to fix that, oh joy!

Do the list of things to do ever stop??

........but the grin is back!!
