Good day everyone and welcome to April! The rain we got over the weekend washed that pesky road salt away so I took the TR out for a spin on Tuesday afternoon for its first spring drive. Oh joy! Now we just have to wait for more dry sunny days and (hopefully) NO MORE SNOW! So...
Good day everyone and hope all is well! It’s been over a year now since COVID-19 reared its ugly head but now that there are a number of vaccines available let’s hope we can all get our shots soon and get back to some semblance of normalcy. While most of February was cold and snowy...
Welcome to February and a very chilly start to the month. At our last board meeting – held virtually – I had the honour of presenting British Car Council’s “Order of British Car Enthusiasts” to Keith Stewart. Each British Car Council member club nominates a volunteer who has demonstrated excellence and in 2020 Keith did...
Good afternoon everyone. Clive Huizinga asked me to remind you that you need to submit details to the British Car Council of your travels for this year if you want to receive a Long Distance Award.

With only 4 weeks until the end of year my thoughts have been turning to the car shows, weekend events and drives that have been cancelled in 2020. We were lucky to get in some great drives towards the end of the year and Maggie and I managed to clock over 1,000 miles in the...
