Had a fantastic blast across the top of the Yorkshire Dales this morning with my bro. Weather and visibilty perfect and the engine sounding absolutely incredible.

My bro hasn't been in the car since I first got it and was still running in. His knuckles were a little white when we got back after a rapid 50 mile run! Nice to see those change up lights still work.

A perfect reminder of why I bought the beast in the first place and why nothing else comes close.

Then back home, car safely garaged and up to my local for a few pints of Black Sheep.

Perfect.

Dinner dance sat night

The Croft Spa could possibly put something on Rich. And a run up Wensleydale to one of the pubs would be fun, particularly if the more well heeled members stopped at my antique shop and spent a few quid on the way.

Green with envy,stuck in the car park also known as SE London. Managed to get to local BBQ meet but in some places it was a struggle. OH for the luxury of the open road. Dont rub it in, but I guess no cameras either!

Very few cameras up here Di and just up the road we have the noble county of Durham where they still have none. Pic attached just to make you really jealous. (That's an average sized back garden up here tha knows).
