Hi there!
Finally managed to take her on long weekend on roads she was build for on Sardinia! Performed nicely, even consumption was around 17.5 l/100km on the transfer routes and around 22 offroad. On the way there the hood lock went, all three screws went! On the highway no less! Quite scary... On the island I feared that the carbs acted up again when she lost all power above 2k rpm on the last day. After filling up again, she performed nicely again, pulling all the way to 145 km/h, bad fuel I guess...
The vacation itself was great! The first day started with a swin in the sea, continued over some milder offroad routes to a nice old church in forests next to a 300 year+ old olive tree and ended again at beach for the night, incl. a swim. Dinner was sword fish with lemon, wild Rosmarin, gnocci and olive oil. On the beach, with the feet almost in the water.
Next day started with a swim again before gking back to the mountains on a off road road trip. Found a very nice spot next to mountain river, great for fishing it seems, with some swimming and multiple coffee breaks with panoramique views. Got lost on the way out, if the map shows a broken (!) line as a road, be assured it will turn into a overgrown hiking path at one point! Luckily scratches are easy enougj to polish out.
Spent the night in great hotel I know from the last vacation there. Unfortunately the restaurant was fully booked, they reserved a table in comparable one for us so. So the day ended with a great 4 course typical Sardinian diner, the next one started with a home made Sardinian breakfast. The home made ricotta with honey is just delicious, as are the cakes and everything else.
Thr last day was just rain, so instead of going back over a couple of offroad mountain roads we visited a great drop stone cave. Went back to the ferry the same day and back home the following day.
Good to finally used her as intended for the first time!
I even keep all the tools I haven’t butchered yet and the breakdown kit in the boot ready for a catastrophe
