Where was everyone today? I arrived back having not seen my Tiv for 6 weeks and decided that a drive was in order. In two hours of hooning around Wensleydale the nearest thing I saw to a sports car was a Z4 and 2 MX5's. Not a Tiv, Lotus or anything else of interest to be seen. All the Yorkies must have been at home doing their nails I guess. I moved up from the south to escape that sort of pansyish behaviour and I am now thoroughly disenchanted.

It was a lovely day for a run out as well. Bolton Castle was resplendent in the sunshine and it would have been rude not to take a pic.

I had a blast out sans roof on saturday. Did about 100 miles around the Moors. Agree on the lack of machinery out and about.

Parked up outside The Fairfax in Gilling East.

The cheek of it! I've been out every Sunday this month with the top of, today we got as far as the border between Teesdale and Co. Durham on the B6277 - the cheapskate County Durham council had left a good 10 inches of snow on the road!

Pansies my arse...driving

Surely if you opened the door, untrapped you thumb and tried driving from the drivers seat then it would be easier?

Love your first picture Paul
Georgeous car and lovely winter afternoon sun on the castle

I am usually out every weekend in my Wedge but this weekend
had too many family commitments and now struggling with
withdrawal symptoms and looking if it may be dry enough
for a topless blast out one afternoon this week eek

Safe driving everyone at this time of year

Cheers beer

Thanks Richard.

I love Bolton Castle and over the years have sold quite a few watercolours of it by the artist Fred Lawson who lived in Castle Bolton village until his death in 1968.

To demonstrate my lack of imagination here's a pic I took earlier. laugh You may recognise the scene. (You may also remember sitting in the car).

I was out and about. Started in Ambleside, A65 down to Langcliffe, up over the single-track to Malham (slushy but not frozen), a quick hike up the Cove, a cup of tea and back to Leeds.

No pictures but trust me, the car really badly needs a wash.

Another nice pic to be added to my collection of TVR pics

Yes Paul remember having a good look around your car as it was soon after I had got my 1st TVR,
and was the first PH run out I had ever done.
Just a shame you don't like the Wedge shaped ones!!
I will have to bring my 400 up for a pic outside Bolton Castle

See you on the Cobweb run on 1st March?

Cheers
