Red October Day, Sun 26, at Crich Tramway Village.

BG and I, had a fantastic day last year. Who's up for this then?

[Balmoral Green]

I'll be going again, it's a very strange day out.

I like to go just for the Tatras, but the way it is developing into an Eastern Block Cold War theme park, with all the uniforms and checkpoints etc, is creepy and unsettling fun.

"Papiere gefallen, danke".

Bump.

[Balmoral Green]

Did you 'fall over' whilst being questioned by the Stasi?

We just parked in the main carpark and met inside.

[Balmoral Green]

Anymore for this?

I will try to get there since I missed last year. What time?

[Balmoral Green]

All day.

I reckon on being there late morning.

[Balmoral Green]

Bump!

[Fort Jefferson]

I' m-Sammeln BG oben bei 10.45 so sollten wir bei 11.00 dort sein.

[plasticpig]

I should be there around 11.30ish. Will see you there comrades.

[Balmoral Green]

Well, that was OK, but you didn't miss much folks. Not as good as last year. There were two Tatra 603's, a Volga on Moscow plates, and an original Skoda Octavia. But otherwise, a fair celebration of garbage, Trabants, Skodas and Ladas of no particular merit

Also, quite a number of cars that had for more in common with a brand new Bentley Continental GT or Flying Spur than anything produced by Rolls Royce or Bentley over the years.

John & Kiers company was nice, as was the trip out to a nearby pub in the new cat.

Anyone dressed in weird Army uniforms?

[Balmoral Green]

Yes, the same lot as last year. And a few more who weren't quite as convincing.

[Fort Jefferson]

Good day out. You have a nice gaf Warren, I notice you have the same taste in sheds, as you do in cars, big and green.

I was expecting a few more cars than were there. Still a good day out. I still want to see ne of these in the flesh though:
