The long and winding road to Suffolk
Monday 26th May 2014
The vintage cars were not built for speed. They might make it up to 40 miles per hour on a flat road and with a following wind but I never attempt to travel at such a breakneck speed. I like to keep to 30 miles per hour because it is more comfortable for the passengers and easier on the cars. This isn't usually a problem because I simply allow plenty of time when planning my journeys. However the time factor did prove to be a stumbling block today when I was asked to quote for a wedding in Suffolk. A quick visit to the AA Routeplanner website revealed a three hour journey each way, as well as the trips to the Church and the reception. Quite a marathon for a vintage car!
I don't like to disappoint customers but I had to refuse this assignment. I have no doubt the car could manage the 180 mile round trip without a problem but I am afraid the driver-fatigue would be too much of a challenge for me!
