Well they say that life should be an adventure, try something new and all that! I forgot to ask Ross if he'd ever been in a tow truck before!!
Had a great Blat down to Rye, not without a small navigational issues....made 2 routes last night as was toying with visiting Bexhill as i like that Cafe, for some reason ( prob that i went to bed a silly oclock ) i told Ross that we were going to Bexhill when i met him. Switched the sat nav on - all fine, till we got to the Lamberhurst bypass, wretched thing wanted me to turn left not right....mm i thought, i'll wing it and follow my nose towards B/Hill. Rule number 23, never amend a route without changing the place names - the Sat Nav was right, its just that all the waypoints were incorrectly labelled as i hadnt bothered to rename them after 'dragging the route' to amend it - hence 'Wadhurst' was really Goudhurst etc. Spent the next 10 mins trying to figure out why the device was wrong.....DOH!!! Great brekkie and a natter.
Part way home Ross's front suspension decided that it had had enough of the bumpy roads/potholes and decided to give up and have a rest, or put it another way - it expired: Right front shock detached itself ( looks like it may have snapped ) and the Tiger adopted a very odd stance. I thoght for a mo as i went back to find him that he'd lowered it for better ground effect - but an inch off the deck wasnt really suitable for the 'B' roads!
Give us an update Ross when you get home.........
