I'm heading down for the Strathendrick Classic Rallye on Sunday. It's a days drive round the Trossachs, Loch Lomond & Perthshire. I just hope the weather improves.

Unfortunately 'Drive It' day has not be precceded by 'Put Tyres on It' day or 'MOT It' day.

I'll see if we can manage 'Open the Door and Start It' day, though.

Yup when all the UK vintage and classic owners should make an effort and get out and drive it.

Looks like the local Jaguar club are driving it to Cliveden. Which is good because her ladyship likes the teashop there :-)

Fitting uprated anti-roll bar day for me, but I'll probably take it for a spin afterwards.

I feel for you, I had a complex operation on my foot in February (13 procedures) and tomorrow will be my first day out in the Corvette since I havent been confident enough that my foot will hold up to the clutch work until now. I hope I'm right!

Take care

We're firing up the quattro to go and watch the MK Classic start. Would of been taking part but can't promise wife at 6 months pregnant that I could go slow enough for her and enjoy it myself!
