Car is inside garage with double electric doors.

Today we have a power cut.

Fortunately not planning to drive today. Is going to be a scorcher.

Better to have driven and sweated than never to have driven at all.

Or something like that.

Problem to be addressed later.

Hot hike and then hot sweaty bodies smearing fluids all over seats. Glad I did not treat the leather before I left.

Sorry if this has ruined your dinner.

Too hot for roof down today though.

And yet strangely the Chinese one is £30. The "American" is £130.

Actually so chilled as not to care. La La La.

Could be the evening Rioja kicking in. After a splendid steak.

More top down driving but the mountain roads are so tortuously bendy that average speed drops to about 20mph.

Luckily the SC encourages lazy driving.

Oh, saw another Lexus today. First in 3 weeks. Obvs not a 430.

The lead into the display is delicate. Any bending on it results in intermittent signal. Mine is too flaky to use....cheap Chinese one using nasty apple connector.

Went on the Spanish motorway with the top down. No hats lost again.

Noisy at 80 thru the tunnels past the trucks. My ears are still ringing.

Think Yorkshire may have been a tad warmer than Spain today.

Perfect fit and fires up like a monster.

Mine was delivered in two days.

I had 20 inchers on my 450h when I got it.

Hideous ride. But looked the dogs danglies.

Swapped them to original

I would have swapped walnut for birds eye maple!

I can see the coastal towns in Africa tonight from the balcony. Ceuta, Spanish enclave, but still in Africa.

I so blend in with the locals!

Jimena de la Frontera today. Off the beaten track a little with a castle obviously. Griffin Vultures a plenty.

Pre or post 2005?

The briefest visit to the "Costa del Sol" has made me realise it is not for me!

Some of the construction of these beachside 70's 80's apartments is simply shocking.

White plaster falling off to reveal the flimsiest brickwork.

Certainly not Lexus standard!

Well after 20 mile back from tacky coast to mountain loveliness with the top down, I can confirm that Panama hats stay put without recourse to string or velcro.

Road was in middle of pic, dodging the mountains.

Still she waits in her lair....tomorrow, I promise.

Do you lock it with the remote or just with the key ? 
    Car battery will last longer with just the key .

Good plan. Using fob at the moment basking in the safety net of my new Battery.

Might take the car out tomorrow!

Life here.

Wake, lazy breakfast.

Ten mile hike.

Swimming pool.

Siesta.

Manzanilla.

Dinner.

Sun terrace.

A fresh and zesty Verdejo tonight.

Oh, and since arriving here on the 13th the car has been driven once!

Road trip is having a siesta.
