Techie stuff and general rants from a grumpy old man
For the last three years I have been for a run out to the Peak District. This year I didn’t go on my normal route and the weather conditions were not the normal mild spring day that we had in the previous two years.
Stoneleigh Abbey, Warwickshire – Sunday 14th August 2011
MITCAR is the annual Midlands event for owners of Italian cars, whether modern or classic. It is held on a Sunday in late summer, usually August.
“What do you do at the car thing at The Trafford Centre?” Jane asked. “Buy your birthday present then stand around chatting about cars Darling.”
or in this case Pandora Charm. It’s what Jane wants for her birthday and the nearest Pandora shop is at the Trafford Centre where there happens to be an Alfaowner meeting this evening. Oh well I suppose I shall have to go to the car meet for the sake of my wife if nothing else.
A few miles down to London, a few more to Dover, a slow boat to Calais, a dash through Northern France to Le Mans. All in a bloody Porsche 911 to visit Le 24 heures du Mans.
A lot of standing around, quite a bit of drinking, a lot of eating and some lovely cars.
Time for relaxing
