Collected the Spyder after the full re-radiation from Matt’s new tidy gaff. After a wheel nut check a smooth drive down the Meon valley to home. Glad it’s back now. Reminded by the Wee Woman to get oven chips on the way back - which I did…

The steam record is held by a British car - Inspiration. Our ‘specialist’ welder worked on the car and some of the team went on to form Steamology Motion who are now aptly based in the old boiler house on the West Dean nuclear storage site.

Nothing wrong with alternatives: finally had a good go in the R5 today - Wee Woman to Bristol airport. M4 there and twisties back - like a go cart and impressive in R5e ’sport’ (maybe an oxymoron, or is that me?)We will do 10 k in that, maybe 3k in the Spyder and some in the DS. Fortunate to...

Our local framer has a GC with a personal plate: PRE something….. and on their van.

Cracking idea - I’d bring sausages!

Our Spyder is hiding somewhere in there.

Ha! Reminds me of my first car - Red Mini with sliding windows and much rust - 23 RTD. Not around any more - no surprise there but the DVLA seems to have dropped the T* usage ( https://www.newreg.co.uk/dvla-number-plate-identifiers/ ) anyone know why?

Pauli excluded him.
