Excellent, looks like something you'd expect to see on UFO.

Yes, I remember that article too. I find Harry's Garage very interesting and I like his honest and understated, yet enthusiastic reviews and opinions. My ideal day out would be a drive through the Trough of Bowland on some of the UK's best roads, through stunning countryside, a nice meal in a Lancashire country pub, then a look in a great shed at some fantastic cars and take in what the history and depth of meaning those cars had. This is after all a car lovers website.
I should imagine Harry enjoyed a spin out to Lancashire in his Lotus, or whatever his chosen steed was that day. I might be slightly envious of Harry, but I'm glad I'm not bitter!
The trough is a very pretty road, but very narrow and full of cyclists, its too twisty and tight with such poor forward visibility that's its not a good TVR road, there are however plenty of great driving roads in the area.If you need local info on great pubs and roads in the area give me a shout.
Richard, I used to live in Bolton By Bowland and know the roads all too well and also the great pubs. We went to the Parkers Arms following our wedding at Dunsop Bridge. It was merely a reference to someone wondering why Harry would "trail all the way from Oxfordshire to Lancashire, for what?" Lancashire is a great county, with some great roads, scenery and eating places and was the home to one of the great British sports car makers ever, both Lancashire and TVR are greatly under-rated, but you know all this already and you get to enjoy both without the hordes of people that flock to the big names. I can enjoy my TVR but just have to wait a while until I get to drive it through the Red Rose scenery.
