Red TVR Griff in the car park at Jordans Mill near Biggleswade, lunch time today.

You had the bonnet up (nothing new there!), engine running and looked like you were making a couple of adjustments?

Cheers! It was really nice to actually get out with the roof off for a change, had you popped into Jordans Mill for lunch? My cousin works in there, I've heard it's a pretty nice place to go for a bite to eat.

Go away Sammy you're only jealous biggrin all that Japanese reliability, nothing beats a bit of character...

Yep, we were in there for lunch. All 14 of us! My wife's 60th birthday.

It's a good place to eat or just for a coffee, especially in the summer where you can sit outside on the veranda overlooking the river.

Not seen anything interesting in weeks, but the weather must have dragged a few out yesterday. There were classic cars, motorbikes and cyclists everywhere!

A pair of loud, very modified Audi R8s cruising through Woburn Sands, a white TR6 and a pristine '64 Splitscreen VW Bus in Wavendon were amongst the highlights.

Saw a lovely blue MY16 R8 heading southbound on the A421 from MK towards the M1 junction on Saturday 12-Mar-16 about 09:40.

Also saw a lovely metallic wine red (not sure what it is actually called) Gallardo Spyder pull into Halfords in Biggleswade in the afternoon on the same day.

Doubt I would have been noticed as I was in a hire van! smile

Saw sandysinclair floating around Sandy yesterday, always a pleasure to see the yellow peril! Don't know if you saw my Chim parked on the drive opposite the fire station?

B645 just before hail Weston was a nasty accident. Road closed both ways. Saw a smashed up bike and there was an air ambulance there. Don't think it looked too hopeful frown

More emergency vehicles arriving so couldn't have been too long before I arrived there... About 1pm.

That doesn't sound too good at all.
Plenty of bikers out today too.

Saw a gold TVR Tuscan in Stoke Hammond this morning.
Black Ferrari 599 and 16-plate M5 Frozen Edition in Woburn Sands.
Also just cycled past a house near Wob Sands and the new owner had an orange McLaren 12C and white Cayman GT4 tucked in the garage. Very nice!
