Well, it's that time again - lets fill the tank and go for a drive ;D
Our regular readers may remember the practice run last month, 800+ miles in 36 hours
Mission : to collect a tailgate (vandals
), bumpers, and field bike ...

This time it's more fun (!) as I've just moved house, and the Hunter was recently vandalised - hence lots of tranport shuffles
Background info

The mission this time? Go hunting around the UK looking for hens teeth (otherwise known as Hillman Hunter windscreens
)
Much better organised this time around - even managed to do oil & filter change, and fill the tank the night before - and reset the trip meter
Not much worth a photo but ...
Day 1 was a gentle run down to Birmingham to use that as a base for the weekend
A good start to Day2 - FX4 pickup, Austin 1800, and an AX - all in the same street
Call in at some services for a break
and soon catch something I saw pulling out of the services earlier
not only but also ...
Even AX oil-burners need to visit petrol pumps sometimes
Tidy beast on foreign plates
Which gets us to Reading for our first pickup
And here we have the first of our hens teeth - in a nice green tint that will go well with the car ;D ;D
