Spoleto is a beautiful historic hilltop town, had loads of EU money pumped in to make it more accessible with escalators and lifts .....

We've had a morning of thunderstorms, a light NW breeze, and everyone out in the fields got rather wet. The afternoon will have more of the same, but with a pleasant 18 degrees. 🌥️⛈️🌥️

Tony, spoke with a couple from Guernsey this afternoon, they were driving a lovely new Cathargo TAG axle MH, at a guess, 200k. They’re returning home on an early ferry (in Spain yesterday) because of the crap weather!!

Probably met them at one of my son’s party’s in Guernsey a year back. We were speaking to a nice couple who had a Cathargo and they were saying how it required a police escort when they wanted to drive it from their home to catch the ferry to St Malo. It really is too big for the island and only can be used when travelling abroad. I seem to recall they had a teenage daughter or granddaughter who was a great horse fan (as our Guernsey granddaughter is)

No idea if same people Tony, the gent said they ordered the beast 2+ year ago, I’m sure he said they picked it up earlier this year, for a big motor at over 5000kgs, Fiat base, and wait for it, 2.3, 180hp nine speed box engine.

His dad was from Leith, Edinburgh.
