Just cleaned mine this afternoon, that's it though; see you in about 400 dirty miles and just over 3 days!

Must admit, £1095 paid out today for front brakes and discs means no desire to polish it.

I wouldn’t do much cleaning without the right kit, no swirl marks here please

Hope to at least clean mine on Thursday, after I get the insides back inside tomorrow, although it'll be covered in dust by the time I get to the top of the lane.

The lunch time stop after visiting the Jim Clark Museum is the Jim Clark Bistro - a short walk from the museum into the "centre" of Duns (its a small village) where we can grab a coffee and, if wanted, a sandwich. Apparently, due to numbers they would appreciate that we pre-order. The menu is:
Soup of the day with crusty bread - £6.50 Soup of the day with a warm cheese scone - £7.25 Choice of Sandwich served on Malted Brown Bread with Mixed Salad & Tortilla Chips - ‘Ross Dougal’s Smoked Salmon’ & Cream Cheese - £9.00 Brie & Homemade Apple Chutney Sandwich, - £7.95 Chicken Mayonnaise & Rocket Sandwich, - £8.95 Cheddar, Branston Pickle, Tomato & Rocket - £8.00 You know the routine: DavidsS8 and Mrs D. Soup/crusty bread x 2
