Delivering the Skoda Enyaq EV today that I collected last Friday from Leighton Buzzard. Starting from home to arrive at the destination for 8.30 means an early start again. Something I'm getting used to and actually enjoying. The journey takes me down the A41 to the M25 round clockwise to the M11 and then A120 at Bishops Stortford east as far as Braintree and then the A131 to Sudbury. I found the dealership, parked up and did my appraisal, found someone sign for it and headed off to Sudbury station, a short 7 minutes walk from Underwood's The recieving dealer.

From Sudbury the train is a few stops from my next collection. Which is a purple Renault Zoe from an MG dealer in Bury St Edmunds

A quick Uber from Bury St Edmunds station took me to the dealership.


They quickly found me the Purple Renault Zoe I was collecting and purple being my favourite colour for more reasons than being a Prince fan. When I worked for Renault. I kind of had the pick of vehicles as a company car. And always wanted a Purple Zoe. It was a great little car for driving around London. Take it out of ECO mode and it was quick where it needed to be. With zero to thirty mph. Which took a few seconds. Who can do more in London anyway. The range meant my 8 mile drive to work from Brentford to Staples Corner, the car only needed charging once a fortnight. That 8 miles could take 15 minutes to an hour. Depending on the traffic. Once it actually took me from 7.35am to midday. Accident on A406.


So I collected the Zoe did my appraisal and headed back to Aylesbury where it would be kept safely until it's final journey in my hands to Shrewsbury tomorrow.


Apologies for the lack of imagery but some bright spark at my hosting company decided to do an app update and finding images is now impossible. I'm working on it. Sorry 😐
