Z320 Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Out touring at the "Pfalz" we had a stop at Maikammer at a small winery to order some of their lovely red wines To much to carry in the TR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenda Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Just dropped the ladies at the Hotel, then two of us had a run to the Kylerhea ferry but unfortunately is was not running today. So instead of the 7 mile run down the track we had 14 miles fantastic, Mike Redrose group Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi Mike, with you in Skye and us in Jura I think we had Scotland surrounded. A very stunning place. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yep Roger, agree…. I’ve been lucky enough to travel just about every place in the world and certain places in Scotland cannot be beaten .. it’s got the lot on a good day ! Great we are finally getting out and enjoying Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulAnderson Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 I have seen the other post thanks. Nice to see more photos of many places I’ve been to, many several times, though I’ve not been to Islay or Jura yet. Shame the weather looks a bit overcast for you all. There’s five members of the Northumbria group in Scotland this month and at least two on Skye this week. Myself, I took the weekly shop over to an ageing inlaw yesterday using the TR as the weather was good. On the way back we popped by a family friends ( outside only) whose dad had been wanting to see the TR for some time. I ended up giving him a ride, top down. I’d not seen a seventy something man move so fast when he heard my offer. Nice to see him so happy. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reasonably clear roads for once so managed to get it wound up nicely . ( Chelsea-tractor drivers might keep up on the straights but they chicken out on the bends.)

Z320 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) We and our friends joined a classic car event at the Pfalz yesterday. A big "8" from Maikammer down to Wissembourg (F), about 100 miles, start and finish where ever you want and drive the "8" what ever direction with some stops at local museums, workshops, villages. This car from a private "car collection" could be interesting for you. Will it ever drive again? At all a great day out with lots of other classic car and sunny weather all day. The look is over wine yards and orchards. Ciao, Marco Edited September 13, 2021 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Yesterday, me and sue took the 4A to West Wittering (the long way round) avoiding GoodWood. The new Cafe there is very god indeed. A few years back the old one mysteriously burnt down (all the chip fat in the extractor spontaneously combusted - probably) Upon leaving the car park (quite slowly) I became aware of screaming and shouting. I had left my very expensive camera on the boot lid. Many thanks to the gent that was doing the screaming and shouting. Then we went off to Selsey. A very odd place - first impression is that it is a tip but if you look deeper it is a very nice little town with some good pubs. Things got better - I found a couple of lobsters going for not a lot of £££. So we sat on a bench looking out to sea and eating a punnet of prawns. We then got up and left. Drove abut 10 miles towards Brighton for an ice cream and realised that my shoulder bag with all my worldly possessions were not in the car. Quick U turn and race back to the bench looking at every inch of the road to see where it may have dropped off. The bench was bare - bu99er. I asked a couple of women, they had not seen it. I then asked a man and he also had no idea. As I continued to walk along the sea front (this is a raised sea defense with a pathway along it heading towards the RNLI boat house) a couple of women way down below in a field shouted up asking if I had lost anything - success. However they did not have the bag but had a phone number of another woman that had the bag but wouldn't be contactable till 4.30pm (this was now 3pm). So I took the details and headed for a pub. I got the bag back and had a nice chat t the lady at 4pm. Despite my silly memory we had three successes 1, got the lobsters, 2, didn't kill the camera, 3, got my precious bag back. PLUS my faith in humanity has been restored thank you people. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Janet and I, found time to pop to Torquay with our Daughters dog. We enjoyed an ice cream and a paddle. Being overlooked by Kilmorie flats situated amongst some lovely million pound properties on Ilsham marine Drive. Although Torbay council could have made a bit more effort to maintain the green.
