Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have ended up back in my RX-8, despite putting it away for winter, thanks to my Jaguar coming over all British. Who would have thought the RX-8 would be the reliable one?!

love the RX-8 has come to the rescue, due to (sadly predictable) Jaguar unreliablity!

We'll done Steve, looks like a good turn out. Thankfully the stormy weather has subsided and it should be dry and hopefully brighter than it has been?

See you Sunday

Thanks to Steve for organising today's drive and lunch, plus thank you to everyone who came along to make the time so convivial.

The food and service in the pub was great too.

We had 11 cars on the drive. It was a lovely sight from 9 cars back!

Pictures at Hanningfield Reservoir.

Wishing everyone a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Good to see you again Sean and bringing your son along... a chip off the old block when it comes to driving, I know I was behind him!

Thanks for putting up the photos so promptly, I remember waiting quite a while to see the Peak District Drive photos.

Hope to see you again, back in this neck of the woods in 2025.

That's a super turnout, well done! Hope everyone had a good time.
