Distinguished Gentleman's Drive - last Sunday.

Following up on my post of 26th September.., On Sunday I did indeed take part ' The Distinguished Gentleman's Drive'. Driving Katie, my '67 signal red TR4A , I met up with others likewise in dapper attire from the East Saxon's (Essex) group of the TR Register, to then meet up with all marques of classics and retro for a parade through Colchester town centre. Franks Motor Company were our hosts for the gathering, with their sales showroom being like a mini museum with interesting cars and bikes on display. Our gratitude for their hospitality.

Our apologies to the daily traffic through Colchester, Essex, that experienced delays due the procession of fifty or so cars, with police escort.

This event coincided with thousands of other classic car enthusiasts all around the world, similarly raising funds & awareness for both prostate cancer and men's mental health for the charity ' Movember '.

Dressed and moustached especially for this dapper day, I was personally sponsored to the sum of £87 towards the cause. My sincere thanks to those who generously gave. Katie of course performed without fault for the 100 mile round trip, and the weather stayed fine.

Should anyone like to add to this figure.. then please follow the link below to do so .... Even if just the cost of a beer or a cup of coffee - it all goes to help the charity serve those in need.
