Tax Free Sunday 4th March 2012
Discussion
Anyone want photos?
Followed an Anglia in, I was going to go in convoy with the white Vitesse, but she chickened out. I bravely went on... and on a tight corner in Midhurst, at 15mph, discovered the Spitfire's famous handling. :shock: Turned into the corner, felt it understeer, so just tightened the line slightly. I could feel the rear was a bit twitchy, but it suddenly decided to overtake me, it felt like the front left hand wheel lifted into the air! ARGH! Quite a quick spin of the wheel to the left and I caught it, but it must have looked pretty amusing to the bloke who'd just pulled out behind me!
Managed to get the Spitfire under cover
Toledo!
Probably due to the rain it wasn't very busy - this was at about 8:15.
Phoar, seventies brown with orange stripe!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scweet NSU
PHOAR! Made an EPIC noise!
XJ13. Sadly sounded nothing special, just the normal V12, no quadedness :sad:
Little Austins float my boat
Americanised Interceptor...
Spitfire... with what I'd call "poor" panel gaps. And collapsed suspension on one side...
And that's that

My photo's from this mornings Breakfast club. They are not very good.... Due to the awful weather. They are uploading as we speak to Flickr. They are 50% loaded up so far.

How busy was today compared to other months seeing as it was wet?
