Drive It Day Photos 2011.
I'm afraid I didn't have time to join an organised run this year but I took the Traveller out for a spin before work.

Mine is off the road at the moment, so I wasn't able to take it out. But to cheer myself up I gave it a very thorough clean.


Re: Drive It Day Photos 2011.
Went out with the Borders Vintage Auto Club for a run on Sunday. Here's a couple of pics.

My P6 3500S and a Triumph Herald and you can just see the back of a Triumph Vitesse to the left of mine.

Right to left: my Rover, Jag XJS, Subeam Tiger, MG TC, Alvis TA 21 DHC, MG Midget, Alvis T? and the Eildons in the background.

Looks very nice
. I take it that is "Borders" as in Scotland
I only ask as that mountain, in the second photo, looks a bit like the Skirrid, which is near the border of Monmouthsire and Herefordshire.

Yes Scottish Borders. That "mountain" is actually the Eildon Hills
Not big, just very far away

Re: Drive It Day Photos 2011.
There's a remarkable similarity between Eildon Hills and Skirrid, though looking at the two pictures together, I can see differences....but at first glance....

Local legend has it that the Skirrid split (The split is more apparent from the Hereford side) when Christ was crucified.

Did the MK Classic Tour - great day out - gave it a good thrashing round the handling circuit at Millbrook and finished at the Porsche place at Silverstone
