On the road again

Finally, in the hope that the easing of lockdown for good is on the way it's back on the road ImageImage
If the 5k isn't measured exactly from my home then I'm inside 5k from somewhere

Nice weather for a spin today, Galway, tuam, headford, cong, ma'am valley and back by oughterard

Pulled up to take a pic, don't know which view is better, the foreground or the distance

Both views are noteworthy! Nice to be out and about again.... I've been giving Stripey a few spins as well, hoping to use him before the NCT in July (just in ae....!!!)

Decided to return by maam valley and finally spotted another convertible, a mk2 mx5 in the kylemore area and a version of an AC Cobra, I say version as I've no clue if it was a kit car or the real thing but it was beautiful, going through maam valley I met what looked like a 60s mercedes fintail convertible, again a beautiful car

Was a black mk2, somehow I can't tell the difference between mk2 and mk2.5. A man and woman on board and I got a wave, must have been something in the air that day as even the guy in the cobra gave a wave. It was a nice spin around the sky road but I wouldn't like to do it in the height of the tourist season due to the narrowness of the road.
Speaking of silver mk2s, I did see one around galway lately, got a wave from him the 2nd time, I might have been driving a different car the first time, I suppose the improvement in weather might bring a few more cars out
