Early evening drive down to Sennen Cove and arrived in time to see the lifeboat launching, took this video from the breakwater.

When we arrived in the car park at Sennen a German lady approached us asking to take a few photos of the TR4A, she said her family were the main Austrian importers of Triumphs and Rootes Group vehicles.

Been to see my brother-in-law in mid-Wales, came back on the A483 from Builth Wells to Newtown, what a fantastic road, 60mph for most of the time, only a couple of villages and very quiet, all told 200 miles Erwood to Harrogate, did it in one, stiff as a board when I fell out of the car in Harrogate, the dog slept all the way.  It helped it was dry and sunny, cheers, Andrew

Hi Andrew,

            CT use the A483 on the RBRR in the dead of night - very spooky shadows along the hedgerows.

CCC (Classic Cars and Coffee) meeting in Plumpton Green, Sussex. A wide variety of cars Austin 7 , Dodge racers, Ferrari, Porsche a drag racer and all very friendly. No concours boys worried about the finish on the sump.

One car was the winner in overcoming the lead in petrol problems. His engine was designed for the available fuel in the year of construction. 1919. There was no lead in the petrol that year.

Have used the A483 when based in Talgarth / Brecon post IWE in Malvern - would recommend the 'roadside diner' (see photo) in Builth Wells (opposite Esso Station, entrance to Jewsons), indeed a lot of roads in this area are delightful to drive

Just a nice drive round Nottinghamshire,  visiting friends and passing the time of day.

Even a visit to TR Enterprises,  had a cuppa and a bit of business.

Happy days,

Good luck Ben and Vicky and all other participants.

Had a great drive this afternoon  down to Weymouth, Osmington Mills, Ringstead, Lulworth, Kimmeridge, Corfe Castle and then home. Just what the doctor ordered after a shite couple of weeks. 

Plus the 6 was purring all the way round.

Hi Folks,

            well, we managed to get 161 cars off at 6pm with a precision LeMans start - actually it was a nice tidy single file 10mph rumble to the A1.  

Good to see Ben and Vicky there. I'm glad they have a good selection of songs to sing to each other.

 

There was  a well worn Herald coupe - rare cars now, Driven by two dainty bumble Bees. I'll posts a picture later.

 

Well done CT

Shame for all that the weather has changed to rain for the weekend.

Good luck to everyone.

It's sunny up  here now.  Vicky has been singing Monty Python's "We're not dead yet" from Spamalot.....although we are feeling half way there.  Had a very cold night.  Both looking like Michelin men! Wayne's Grinnall was growling nicely although I'd hate to be paying his fuel bill!

Great stuff. Much respect to both of you, keeping the sidescreen adventure flag flying. 

Stay safe and enjoy.
