Off the tarmac in 95 - a photo on Flickriver

            Back in the last century, sometime in 1995, when I worked for another company we had a large project to complete in Southern Spain.

It was decided that we would take the company pool cars to reduce costs. L172 CDF was one of two. The project ran late, very late. As a consequence the cars needed servicing and new tyres (we accidentally got down the metal casing on one of them) while in Spain.

These cars were not equipped with air conditioning, only top spec models had them (or as a cost option) in those days. Southern Spain can get very hot in the summer.

Driving a right hand drive car on the opposite side took a little getting used to.

When not pressed for work duties, I took L172 CDF for an adventure...

The GR-411 is an unsurfaced road that transverses the Sierra Nevada mountain range - and one of the highest roads in Europe (which I've only just found out just over 20 years since this photo was taken). 

This photo was taken half way up the GR-411 with the place and date written into the dust.

L172 CDF was first registered on 23 May 1994, its last tax disc ran out on 1 December 2009. 15 years service was good going considering the service it gave under our short watch.

Its a little over 20 years since this photo was taken.
