Had the Alfa out for her first run this year today. Just got back from a long trip at work and she had been in the garage getting her MOT and a service while I was away. Having paid the bill (not as much as I had feared) and picked her up I went for a drive up some of the local glens. With a MASSIVE smile on my face. driving

There really is nothing better than jumping in your classic and going for a blast, when everything is working perfectly, the car is set up just right and the weather is good. Although we did have the traditional four seasons in one day today. But boy was it still awesome.

You can forget about all those little things that have been niggling at you, I must get those small rust spots sorted and the interior fixed up, none of that matters when you are blasting down a B road you know with the engine singing away and the hood down.

Today was one of those days that makes all the trials and tribulations so totally worth it. cloud9biggrin

Hope you are all enjoying your cars as much as I am mine. thumbup

yes

I've had two runs out today in my car, a Bentley Turbo R, just got back in 10 mins ago after a particularly bullish rumble,

Nothing else gives me so much pleasure, God I love my car.

Sounds like you've had fun. I've been on holiday for the last ten days and in the past have just looked forward to seeing my dog but now I have the car as well. smile

This is what it's about for me.



On Saturday there was a photoshoot for Escort Cosworths marking 20 years to appear

in Fast Ford mag and Sky TV was there too at Santa Pod Raceway.

There was 80+ cars which is actually a little disappointing.

But seeing so many in one place and chatting to fellow owners is cloud9
