Had a good week with great weather and managed to get a couple of dashcam screenshots of older cars, I guess most of them have gone into hibernation now.
It's about 650 mile round trip and the car behaved pretty well.
I was getting very occasional clutch slip around 200 miles down so I treated it gently, I'd adjusted the cable the week before so it was a bit worrying.Around 50 miles from home on an pitch-black motorway I saw a lorry on the hard shoulder in the distance with hazards on, so I pulled out into the middle lane, as you do.
Too late to avoid it, there was a bit of lorry tyre in that lane and I drove straight over it. That was a bit bumpy!
I managed to avoid the second hazard, it looked pretty solid at just under a mile a minute
When I pulled in to check for damage the engine cut out? It must have had a little panic attack itself
Started straight away again though
Two other cars were damaged, a vw and a merc.
Both had smashed front spoilers, one missing the grille - paper thin plastics
The cav on the other hand didn't fare too badly on the surface.
My front number plate's cracked and the bracket for the towing electrics is bent right back. I'll get the underside checked tomorrow.

Apologies for the splash screens, I'm working on it..
