No pictures, I am afraid, as it was just me, Amanda and money. If I had my iPhone with me, it would have been on Twitter faster than you could say FIAT.

In the afternoon, we were off to a friend’s, and there was another coming the other way. Now, at this point I will remind you folk that I was once a rabid Morris Minor driver, and when you met another Minor on the roads, you waved, flashed lights or whatever. I do this the Crossfires I come across, and so far not one of the miserable bastards* has acknowledged.

I will continue my campaign of cheery Crossfire driving.

Anyway, I thought that outside of our gatherings, seeing one is not bad, but two is pretty good going.

*Not you, obviously. I expect you’d play fast and loose with the light flashing lever.
Ive owned my Crossfire for 2 years now, and only once had another xfire driver given me a brief nod - but then I have a friend with a Rolls Royce and he says that other RR drivers also never acknowledge each other. (Hmm, not sure if thats re assuring of even more worrying)
