Dropped the XTz off at the dealers this morning, just got back from a quick spin on the TDM. 

 

What's your excuse?

Just got back from a visit to RAF Cosford via Cannock Chase.  Excellent place to visit and it's free!  Stop off at my brothers's in Wolverhampton for tea on the way back so a very enjoyable 150 mile day out.
