Perfect day for it. We were in Claygate for a wedding on Saturday and a BBQ today. Sadly not in the TR - not enough room for all the clutter. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teher Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Nice ride yesterday, from Toulouse to after Gaillac where we filled our car trunks with cases of Gaillac wine! The MK2 ran out of gas and the 100/4 had ignition problems… Long live the TRs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brenda Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Had a very pleasant afternoon with the East Midlands area TR group at their belated 50th Anniversary, we were treated to a hog roast and cake. We also had a singer (that I took out for a run in Brenda) and a saxophonist playing in the background whilst sat in the sunshine. Mike redrose group Quote Link to post Share on other sites

openroad Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Hi Mike , East Midlands , that's interesting. I live in East Mids and knew nothing of it. I don't do Facebook, maybe that's why. Looks like fun though. Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brenda Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Hi Conrad, this event was advertised in the Events page of the TR Register I always look at this just to see if there are other events on near me not just our Redrose page. Mike Redrose Group Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openroad Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Cheers Mike....I must admit , I do wade through it now and again. I must pay more attention, Cheers, Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bfg Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Today : Helmingham Hall & Gardens, Suffolk - Festival of Classic and Sports cars ( an event in support of charities) . . . ^ Katie joined in with the TR Register's Abbott & Stour group of very nice people with very nice cars .. TR6s, Peerless, TR7-V8, and of course a TR4A ..with half a roof panel. It's an excellent informal type show despite some pretty exotic and equally as diverse cars being allowed in, which this year enjoyed sublime weather which.. by the end of the day sort of radiates from my fresh lobster-like complexion. And because of that, I was obliged to stop off at the Sorrel Horse Inn, Claydon ..for medicinal purposes you understand - to avoid my being dehydrated this evening !

Hamish Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 After 2 days racing with classic marques at loton park at the weekend. it was nice to pop out to a local pub meet at the swettenham arms in Cheshire. A good turn out and a good variety of cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesA Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Ah, the infamous XJ220. For several years of my professional life I was instructed to pursue all the purchasers worldwide who, when the car finally came off the production line, engaged in a mass 'can't pay, won't pay' exercise. I think I saw every conceivable excuse for not paying for the car including 'it's too wide to go between the bollards restricting access to my road in Chelsea' and dissatisfaction with the shape of the steering wheel! None was successful. Every car was unique and bespoke. I remember seeing more than 100 of them being stored in an old shed at Browns Lane, with a few covered in old tarps and all splattered from bird sh*t from the resident pigeon population. A depressing scene. Not perhaps the best of Jaguars engineering exercises and the Metro rally engine was possibly not the most appropriate powertrain. Luggage space consisted of room for three briefcases. Not exactly in the Grand Tourer tradition. However. Tom Walkinshaw had some class success with a modified version at Le Mans. There was a time when you could pick one up for £40-50k. Starting to become an appreciating 'classic' now though. Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuzanneH Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Not the best photo of a couple of TRs after the all day Valleys and Villages Tour last Sunday. A great tour and my kind of countryside but we will have to repeat it sometime to really appreciate each place we flew through. Very enjoyable but both navigator and driver were exhausted afterwards, and that wasn’t just us a few fellow TRrs said the same. A bacon roll breakfast was provided, for those who wanted it, beforehand and a very good salad and burger/ banger roll and ice lolly after the run. This is the third or fourth year we have taken part in this tour. Edited August 10, 2022 by SuzanneH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) Dartmoor, popped into two bridges post office office purchased local Pasty, and Salcombe rum and raisin ice cream. Then off to Bellever woods where we sat in shade and enjoyed them, oh and a quick paddle in the stream with the dog, I hadn’t planned paddling myself but slipped off the stepping stone. Mind you it cooled the foot and soon dried. Edited August 11, 2022 by Misfit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still Sideways on forum didn’t matter how I turned it still was sideways so I just pressed add. Now you have managed it. Well done i’ve now used your photo and straighten them up much better thank you. Edited August 11, 2022 by Misfit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
