Where did you drive to with your TR today


Recommended Posts

Silver ball cafe on the A10 near Royston. Two Trojans and a Durkopp and our TR4A in the background. Plus a thatched cottage.

Took my cousin out to lunch. She was born in 1918.   Tom

Lovely end to a lovely day. Crisp winter coastal run, and down to the beach for a stroll at sundown.  Happy new year all, Deggers

Run by a bloke called Tommy, by any chance?

No idea, I think they are Italians.

Spectacular fall weather today, Mid 60's temp, clear blue sky and the whole region lit up with the fall foliage. Took the TR6 out on its tradition birthday (mine) fall drive around town and was not disappointed. This shot just as I turned left out of the driveway.

I took mine out a couple of weeks ago when the weather forecast was for a lovely day so we headed off to see some autumn colours with the top down.  Just as we were within sight of our destination in Northumberland the skies darkened and it started raining.  We did a sharp turn and headed back, outrunning the rain.  I took this photograph on an industrial estate nearer home.

We did call in at Belsay Hall on the way back.  It's a grade 1 listed building with a scheduled ancient monument castle (the previous house) in its grounds.  Here's some photos of it currently getting re-roofed.

And its castle ( tower house) with later successive extensions before being replaced by the hall

For those with an interest, details of Belsay Hall and Castle can be found at https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/belsay-hall-castle-and-gardens/history/ and https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1304489?section=official-list-entry

The quarry gardens are a particular attraction due to the rare planting so far north.  It’s where they quarried the stone for the hall from.

The German roads look very good, smooth surface, white lines, not much traffic, sun shining and just as we arrive at the village the video ends. Please film a drive through the village as part 2.

Well done Richard & B

Dear Richard,

I know villages at the UK and many of them look VERY picturesque.

You would be disappointed by most German villages, special the way you can drive through.

But I will make a video for you!

Last weekend at the Odenwald and this summer 2 times at the Pfalz was great!

Ciao, Marco

Just so you know. We were going on the Thames Valley TR Group Autumn Leaves Run this morning but when leaving the M4 for the M25 we immediately hit a complete blockage of the M25 and were eventually diverted off the motorway to the Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 exit. This took some time, we left home at 09.00 am. By the time we were out of the jam it was too late to get to the meeting point near Box Hill Surrey so we left a message on TV group leaders phone explaining we wouldn’t be turning up. We got home again at 10.30. 
I asked Alexa what had happened on the M25, she said an early morning crash caused a lorry fire.

Classic FM has just said it was “ Oil Protesters” all round the M25 which is shut in both directions.

Not a good day for a TR Run out anyway as it continues to rain, must be about a fortnight of rain so far………..
 

An hour and a half’s trip to the M25 and back.

As mentioned above, the TVG group had a nice (if wet) drive down to the Partridge Inn at Singleton today, & guess who we bumped into ---
