Drive It Day, Sunday 28th April 2019
Script by Alan Ford. The first Sunday run of the season was Drive It Day, with a good turnout of cars - a round dozen TRs and a couple of E Type Coupés to keep us company. The run took us out into east Derbyshire and on into Nottinghamshire and the Dukeries, stopping off for coffee at the extensive grounds of the Welbeck Estate, before carrying on with the rest of the run in on into deepest darkest TR Enterprises territory with a final stop for lunch in the hamlet of Blidworth Bottoms and the Fox and Hounds pub – a gem of a find. This run was organised by David and Val Sygrove, with a fair amount of luck weatherwise. The Saturday had seen the back-end of Hurricane Hanna, with extensive rain for most of the day and temperatures just 5 degrees above snow. Had the extensive rain fallen as snow, we would have spent our Sunday digging our ways off our drives. We weren’t exactly roasting on the Sunday, but we all had hoods-down all the day apart from the two couples in the coupés.
