      Back around them miles from where we used to be 6 years ago - nice quiet Wolds village with so very good driving roads around! Have possibly a couple more weeks at home before away again...

      I had a run out to Chatsworth, but in the 911. TR has a poorly gearbox at the mo. Lovely day wasn't it.

  7. Great 80 mile run out up to Bakewell and back in the sunshine!!! First run out since returning from the Lakes Weekend last September!!!

      Been wondering whether to keep the 4A after the short drives round town. After recent drive up the mountain from the coast, passing everyone, zipping round the hairpins, have changed mind. Astounded they were invented in England. Would have thought someone from Appenzel would have done it.

  8. Hoping the weather is decent from the end of this week and get to play out in the TR after being away over Xmas and NY!! :-)!

      There's enough rivers and lakes around that circuit to turn it into a wet race every year.
