I've got loads ;-) Perhaps I'll get them on-line one day. That trip was over
4 years ago. I sooo want to do it again!

It was. I loved the radio operators chair still in the back!

I had to move some large water butts so did the same once. Fabulous summers
day, very warm. Most fun, till we hit a freak 1/2mile square thunderstorm
and got completely soaked. Neighbours looked at us most strange because it
was such a contained storm that most people wouldn't have seen anything but
wonderful sunshine.

Excellent... May well be up for that. Am going to Gaydon the weekend after
though so does of course depend on getting two weekend release passes in a
row ;-)

I had similar once in a friend's series 2, we were tootling along sans
roof when it started to rain a bit, so he just sped up a bit and the
rain just went over our heads. We stopped after a while to put the
canvas up, and got rather strange looks as he was dressed in country
gent clothes chuffing away on a pipe, and I was dressed in wartime RAF
gear smoking a big cigar... We'd just come back from Goodwood Revival!
