My Portofino journey

Fun day out to get the car Service number 5 .early again (ahead of a road trip). Only small things raised - tyre goo past date. And Smeary wiper blades (which they ain’t to my eye).
I’ve only had to replace one busted tyre and extend the factory warranty in near 5 years of ownership.

I’m replacing the tyres as they are coming due.

Smiles per pound spent sill the best deal around for cars in the Porto class for me.

The journey continues……

 

Couple of interesting spec cars in the dealership today.

Biscuits and coffee were great…but as a shareholder they should not be free !

Lovely euro tour to the beautiful city of Haarlem and visit Keukenhof bulb gardens for the weekend. https://keukenhof.nl/en/

Amazing display of colours.

slight issue with the car causing a visit to Ferrari Monza NV Ghent but nothing serious and well looked after by the team and on our way within a hour including car being scanned and test driven.

Even fitted in a short F1 related stop on a flower seeing trip.

Air pressure sensor triggered: yes it’s on warranty.

 

Mini heatwave in the UK. Some great scenic roads in and around the reservoirs at https://elanvalley.org.uk/visit/visitor-centre/

Water was like glass.

Retirement means not having to wait for the weekend to get the top down.
