Bed made, sportcross maybe the smollest estate I have tried car camping in so we shall see how good it is.

Was so tempted to do this tonight but ive got to be at mums first so pointless! 

I am bringing a small supply of tools too as I'd like to pop my drivers seatbelt out and get the big twist out of it. Can't find the lid to my kettle either... 

[chaseracer]

Will be down as early as poss.  Car & bag packed already!

There was an amazing volume of everyday shite in that film. I keep on watching the chase sequences just to see the cars we don't see anymore:

Maybe my 9000 will have to do... it’s big and slab sided... 

[brownnova]

En route I have just seen a young lad learning to drive...

 

 In a Lada Niva.... 

[catsinthewelder]

I think I saw him near Leominster last week ?

[hairnet]

Had two hours of this

Don't fancy another three

[hairnet]

Now you're taking the piss

2 hours between these pics

[Tadhg Tiogar]

On the way now after giving diesel Borat a wash....

[mitsisigma01]

I was on the way... Field of Dreams jinx has struck again... Last year the power steering blew a pipe, this year whilst sitting in traffic on fkin m25 Mitsi started to lose the clutch pedal, squeezed across 3 lanes, off at J10, done a u turn, limped it home to Halfords Horsham, pedal at the floor... ???

Thanks for today guys. Was nice to get out. My exhaust hasn't fell off yet. Rhys loved his driving lessons too. Sorry if I didnt get to say bye to everyone but I needed to get home.

[bub2006]

I take back my exhaust comment.

Had this old bitch for 3 months now. Admittedly this has come at a bad time.

Just got back home now, it was awesome to meet you all and Dominic had an amazing time, thank you. 

Big thanks to @Six-cylinderand @Mrs6C for being hospitable and taking the time to speak to Dominic too.

Roll on the next one! 

[beko1987]

I slunk off at tea time as the kids wanted to sleep at mine but a very enjoyable afternoon, wether it was drifting with @Heidel_Kakao, blowing rust and nuts out of invacar engines 

Buying shit from @Andyrew or generally chatting and driving random cars! Drove my first ever lancia, and lexus, and skoda its been ace! 

Hope you all enjoy tomorrow!

I spotted your beast on the A421 - I must have missed you by about 5 minutes.  I did flash my lights but not sure if you saw me.

No, I didn't, sorry. What were you driving? 

[wuvvum]

Blue Volvo V70. 

[richardmorris]

More photos please. I was kayaking support again on the Thames today.

[DoctorRetro]

I think I should have partaken in that sun cream @brownnova...

Dominic's pictures from today. 

 

[Yoss]

It was a really good day. That field is remarkably smooth, even my Skoda which is a bit stiffly sprung sailed round no problem. It is smoother than most roads round here. 

Those Lancias are truly epic. 

[Yoss]

Some more random shots. It was obviously hotter than it seemed as my nose has caught the sun too. The sky looks particularly impressive in this first pic. 

[Six-cylinder]

Then there was the reveal from behind the grey fog, the Visa Cabriolet is home.

*upset 2cv

*cries

theres a samba on car and classic.........

the engine makes me do a suicidal

[Zelandeth]

Definitely aiming to make an appearance tomorrow at some point.  What I'm driving will probably depend on what the weather is doing.  The wind will probably need to drop it it's the Invacar, the ten minute trip round the block to check the new belt was behaving was exciting enough in that regard!

Probably between that and the van as the Jag will need fuel if I bring that (not that it needing fuel is ever a surprise!)...
