It figures

Four weeks, and I've clocked up just over 2/3 of the first thousand miles on the new motor. That would have been 500 miles, but for the two sysadmin trips over to my parents. As it happened, the odometer went to 666 miles on the nastiest bit of road I have to drive, an unclassified country lane which is part of a bus route, and gets well pounded by heavy agricultural vehicles, so it's rutted, cracking, potholed - and in the winter prone to be icy, being in a little frost pocket, with streams draining out of the fields and running along the tramlines.
