RogerH Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Today I took the TR4 for short drive to the Great Barn at Harmondsworth a stones throw from Heathrow airport. The Barn was built at the start of Henry VI's reign. The poet John Betjeman referred to it as the Cathedral of Middlesex. It is truly magnificent inside. The cross beams are apprx 40 ft high. It was referred to as a three floor barn. Each floor is at the entranceto a huge door. These floors were made of clean wood and that is where the wheat/corn was threshed.

RogerH Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Hi Stuart, yes they are. I know they are frowned upon but they are not having a hard time on my car at the moment. I do have four 60 spoke wheels in the garage, courtesy of AlecP_ and I'm sure they will get fitted one day. Roger, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brenda Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Today was the monthly meeting of the Redrose group, we had a change of venue due to the pub being done up, we went back to our old venue and had a enjoyable lunch and catch up. We then had a short run to Lowes farm shop to have a look at the small outlets and have our usual coffee and cake. Mike redrose group Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ctc77965o Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Stayed on the island but drove the TR up to Malihom (about 40km from home)...a small hilltop resort...it has its own private single-track multiple hairpin bend access road... The TR chugs up there nicely in 1st gear. https://maps.app.goo.gl/JAY5ES8B4uxvop388 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
