Default i'm in paddy land !!!

been too busy of late to post on forums, but the scoob did it's first long distance journey since i got it.
drove from london to SE Ireland last week to stay with the girlfriends family and the scoob didnt miss a beat !
hated the damned ferry though! 1st time on one and although i wasnt sick, it was a close call !
left london at 5am, got to the ferry about noon, 2hr wait, 3˝hr crossing then another 2hr drive in Ireland.
on my way back tomorrow having whipped my gearbox out while we were here to change a few bits so i'll find out tomorrow night if i forgot anything!!!!
a few of the roads here are a bit rough compared to england, but most are a lot better. its realy nice driving over here.
I've ribbed the mrs a few times about her ancestors keeping the best tarmac for home !!!
