My favourite car of the weekend - picnic basket is a nice touch. He came all the way from Scotland just to scare the crap out of people - it's fitted with the Horn from a train.... :joker:

My first car was a 1979 1100 SPecial in Silver so I had to park up beside this one!

They used to let MINIs over this bridge as well but it really is TOO tight as there is a stone wall at the far end that can easily catch a wheel and it was slowing down the whole cavalcade. The run now splits for about 1/4 mile then regroups.
