So just clocked up 13K miles in 6 years. Regular social use, weather permitting, and trips to Scotland, Germany and twice to the Netherlands.

Still love it to bits. It had a few issues, but nothing major and I've always managed to get home. I made quite a few mods over the years, mainly gauges to keep an eye on things, some reorganising under the bonnet and running repairs. It always generates a smile from people, whether they are driving or otherwise. And We've made some great new 3 wheel friends, not all of them Pembleton owners.

Here's to the next adventures😀

As usual, 'the little red thing' caused a lot of interest and I spent hours taking to tourists from many countries. It's only a shame that I couldn't monetise the interest as it was considerable. Whilst the Pembleton is a good size for the island's roads driving was not always comfortable thanks to the low speed limits. In case you don't know it's 25 mph in built up areas and 35 elsewhere. I think it may be an issue with the choice of the close ratio 'box but it was hard driving behind the many cyclists and other slow moving traffic. As an Austrian friend of mine on the island used to say 'the Fuhrer's real estate' is wearing well but the local stuff from the nineteenth century seems to be…
