Yesterday I had the good fortune to get a ride in this…

Circa 1907, re-engined in the 20’s and fitted with a 7 litre WW1 Hispano-Suiza aeroplane engine. Apparently held an endurance speed record of 101mph over a seven hour race in one of the early Grand Prix in France.

All I can say is it gave a real shove when the loud pedal was pressed and makes the Morgan look very civilised.

Super! Looking forward to seeing some similar aero-engined cars at Prescott next weekend. Anyone else going?
Don.

I am hoping to go Don. And also at least some of the VSCC anniversary events at Stratford the following week.

However I'll decide nearer the day, I'm currently working in lastminute.com mode ... I've failed to get to so many events recently I've stopped making commitments! (I spent yesterday watching the cricket on TV and seeing my empty seat in the Rose Bowl. sick )

Sorry to read you are under the weather again Ian!
As for VSCC Prescott - I'll be there - in Hill Control as usual. I do get out for a bit at lunchtime - normally to be found just outside Hill Control close to the Bugatti Gate, trying to eat my sandwiches, or heading for the ice cream van smile
Be good to see you both, even if only for a 5 minute chat thumbs
