RobH Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) It was my birthday on Monday so I celebrated by a drive down through the New Forest to the sea. A superb day and a very enjoyable 150 mile round trip. I got well suntanned in the process too. I passed a white TR6 near Beaulieu who flashed his lights so hi if you are on the forum.

Phil Kirk Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) We had a great drive out around the Peaks and Dales of Derbyshire on Monday. Found a deserted picnic spot for lunch. First run out since finishing my radiotherapy so made it a bit special Phil and Jenny Edited June 25, 2020 by Phil Kirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ocheye Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Great run out today with two other couples in their Austin Healeys for a socially distanced picnic. We left Carlisle and climbed to the top of Hartside from Penrith and for an experiment we took the TR4 all the way up in top gear without any labouring. Great torque. We then took a run through Durham and into Northumberland where we stopped at the stunning village of Blanchland. Then back home to Carlisle via Hexham. When we got home the temperature in our conservatory was 115, yikes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drewmotty Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 A few of us from the Devon Group should have been off to Classic Le Mans today but as the event has been postponed until 2021 we made do with a day tour round Dartmoor and down to the coast for a socially distant picnic.

foster461 Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 4th July 2020, spectacular day here in the north east USA. Celebrated US independence day by driving a British car as usual. A short 8 minute video of my drive around the neighborhood Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Where is the traffic and who keeps all the grass so neat and tidy ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
modelbuilder Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Great video. How nice it is to see TRs being driven in different locations. I’m sure that there are loads of videos out there that have not been shared. Go on, upload them to YouTube and let us all enjoy them. It’s easy and it’s free! Rodders.

Not much traffic around here on a normal day, less on a holiday in the middle of a pandemic. Summer thunderstorms have kept everyone busy cutting the grass twice a week.. Thanks for the tour of Mousehole Rodney. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Redrose Group He did know I was coming Mike. I had just spoken to him on the phone I wasn't really interested in delaying the MOT. Having bought the car earlier this year I would rather know I was driving something safe. I now also have another item for my to-do list. All of the wheel bearing are in need of adjustment, so that job will be done next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
