It's been a long day...... I was up at the crack of dawn, the Evo was off for some suspension felting. I fired up the beast and headed off south westerly along the A303 and the M5 to Exeter. Damned fine bunch of blokes down there make some of the most amazing suspension kit in the whole World. They supply a lot of the World Rally Teams with professional race suspension.

I happen to know Concord, which is both ill-named and if one is honest, probably at the negative end of the architecturally charming list.
