In the organising & planning, I guess youve been up to the hospice a couple more times......

....So is it safe to follow you this time ?

Just kidding
He's currently being trained how to listen to directions, hopefully by July I might have had some success!

UPDATE - TVR TYPHONS

There were only four TVR Typhons made, a beautiful model that cost almost £100,000 when new.

Amazingly, TWO will be at Caring with Cars 2011.

UPDATE - THREE VERY RARE CARS

From a private collection, three exciting vehicles are attending:

  • Bugatti Type 57 Grand Raid Atalante 1935, 1 of only 3 made and a stunning, stunning example
  • Duesenberg J Torpedo Phaeton 1934, 1 of only 2 Duesenbergs in the country
  • Bentley 3/4.5 Le Mans body 1926 'Mother Gun' recreation by Dr Tim Houlding

These are all stunning cars and would be star of the show at any event on their own. Many thanks to the owners for agreeing to display them.

The Bentley took 10 years to build!

I'm in, bringing my little MR2 to be upstaged by all the gorgeous metal coming.

Also looking forward to seeing a Countach in the flesh for the first time.

There are two on the list - maybe you should park near the ambulance in case you faint (or get dehydrated from the drooling). biggrin
