Now that looks a bundle of fun, marginally barmy, but a bundle of fun never the less

Trust me, when you're driving a bit (lot) over the speed limit at about 4 in the morning, on a road with no lighting, markings or cats eyes, seeing the sky in front of you getting lighter and lighter, you start to think it's more than a bit barmy.

I had all my lights on, including front fogs, just to see where I was going.

Just after the finish, I thought "never again, I've done it now". This evening, if you asked me, I'd leave right now and do it again!

Look on the bright side - it's not the biggest car park in the world smile

And the real start point only has space for about 10 cars - as we found out!

Seeing the success Rudy has had in his Ostend meet (which I chickened out of due to heat/traffic around Antwerp) have some further news..

I will be sent a map of a tour of the Black Forest shortly, which we plan to drive end of September, beginning of October.

Due to distance involved this will be a weekend tour (or even a two nighter) Kindly express your interest ?

Just moved to Luxembourg with my family and my VX220... Definitely keen to get involved in any meet-ups.

I'm heading to the Lotus on Track track day at Spa on Monday 27th July. If any of you fancy popping down to watch and get for a few pax rides you'll be welcomed. We (VX220 Owners club) are also planning on having a few drinks on the Monday night. If you like beer and cars, you'll be in good company!

The weekend saw TVRCC50th at Shuttleworth and Millbrook, which was nothing short of amazing !

We left Antwerp early Friday morning, and arrived Bedford at 1500, we had a lovely dinner with Han and Anita (cheers guys !)

On Saturday morning we joined the ride-out from Clophill to Shuttleworth:





Shuttleworth is at Old Warden grass airfield and houses a collection of planes from the early days of aviation till a Spitfire Supermarine;





In the evening we had dinner, at the party, in a hangar with the doors wide open, whilst aeroplane were flying past ! An surreal experience ,not to be forgotten easily !




Then, on Sunday...........Millbrook proving ground, 700 acres of undiluted driving fun ! (Hilde even managed to not scream, well, not very loud....)





For the eagle-eyed amongst you, yes, thats Les Edgar having an eager audience ! Martin Lilley was there to, but we didn't get the chance to chat to him (bugger !)

We left still on the Sunday, as I couldn't get the Monday off, so arrived home at 2300, tired but very pleased, still buzzing after what had been a fantastic weekend !
