It’s always a good day when a new Kris Atomic video drops.
A masterclass in editing, music choices and videography in vlogs.
It helps that they’re both professional photographers.

I feel quite sad today. I’ve been using the Suzuki for 2 weeks and Gillian is heading back up north in it.
I’ve REALLY enjoyed using it for a bit.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
It’s a such a happy car!
Oh…and I’ll miss Gillian too.

Just got into the S60 for the first time in 2 weeks and thought the roof lining had fallen down.
It hadn’t.
Might have something to do with the fact that I could wear a top hat in the SX4.

Safely back in Salop. Tywyn was wild this morning and there was lots of standing water all the way back.
The SX4, on its new Falkens, was happy and as sturdy as you like.

Just been out for a walk with Norman.
I’ve got back and wrung out my boxers and insoles.
I think the wet mess on the end of the lead was Norman. Can’t be sure though.

I’ve driven the SX4 on a proper long trip for the first time today.
It’s very capable. Relatively comfy (not in S60 league), frugal (nearly 50 mpg) and it feels very planted.
I did miss cruise control though.
