FBHVC 'Drive It Day' Sunday 22nd April

[Strugs]

Anyone planning to be out and about on Sunday?

[alfaspecial]

If the weather is ok.
This is the nearest 'event' to me: http://www.atwellwilson.org.uk/whats-on.html

Does anyone know of any other events in Somerset / Wilts?

[plasticpig]

I should be doing the Stilton Cheese Run; subject to the car getting through it's MOT today.

[LarJammer]

I will be at the Bicester Sunday Scramble along with hundreds of others. If you dont have any plans yet check it out.

I'll be out and about, but I'm usually driving one of my Triumphs anyway. The Triumph Sports Six Club Somerset branch is doing a run to a Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth. There doesn't appear to be an official meet at Haynes Motor Museum this year but I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't a number of individual cars there anyway.

Ah, Bicester!


The Wriggly Monkey* Brewery's first brew from their new brewery at Bicester Heritage will be available.



Sadly, I can't make it.

It's the 750 Motor Club Austin 7 trial at Cobham on Sunday, I'll be doing that.

A good excuse to roll out this video from a trail we did earlier this year.

Quite a few spectators come along, some in interesting cars.

Late call but anything on in the North East or North Yorkshire area?

[lowdrag]

It's Drive it Day, so out we went. The weather is unimportant since my skin is waterproof, but it was very hot and the front N/S brake locked on so I had to bleed it a bit. No more troubles after that. Then the car stopped of its own accord and refused to proceed.

It was over 30C in the shade. And I was thirsty

Very thirsty!



So further sustenance was called for.



And then we ate



And now, much later, we are back home.

HaHa! Obviously some well-organised people here in West Sussex, with one club filling up a car park on Iping Common when my wife wanted to walk the dog, and then I got a call from a nephew that the White Horse at Graffham was full of classics, a privately organised invasion from Surrey, apparently. And not just classics, but some serious modern stuff too. The classics included various Morgans, a blower Bentley, a couple of E-types, a local XKR, Lotus Elan and Evante, DB4, my Facellia etc. Great to see them all.

Nine Imps (and a Midget) at Dundee Museum of Transport. We did a great run through some back roads from Kinross to Dundee and then stopped off at the Jim Clark statue on the way home. Fantastic day!

Had a great day at Bicester with the Mini Cooper Register.



Of course the weather helped, but its a great venue.
