Yup bit late now.
Road does have potholes in some places, but its not terrible.
You also have to be a bit more careful in the early morning especially if it's rained; as moss grows on the road. = Slippery (maybe not as bad in a car though, definitely nasty on 2 wheels).

Pat,.. I don't have a mechanic per say . I do most of the work myself or enlist the help of my ex-mechanic father. I will keep Buchanan in mind if something I can't do pops up.
