Evening Meeting:
After a long day at work it was still hot and sunny as I headed off to meet Kidge/Egdik and Andy/ericholm.

Just one minor detour on route, although the wind nearly blew my directions away which would have been a problem.

Kidge and his wife were there when I arrived and Andy and his daughter followed shortly after.

It is good to meet people from the forum and see/talk about their cars/builds.

It is funny how all three of us know all the small faults in our own cars, but just see the great overall effect in other people's cars.

Personally, I loved both of their cars.

As the sun was starting to set, we decided to drive to the end of the car park to get some photos.







I'm now used to my bonnet opening fully forwards, so it seems 'odd' to see Tribute bonnets opening the other way.





I also really liked this badge.



With both Andy & I relying on Lucas/The Prince of Darkness we headed home before night fell.

Then, for a short stretch of the M25 I had:
- A golden sunset to my right
- The back end of Kidge's 275 just ahead of me
- Warm wind blowing over me as I drove in a T-Shirt

Which all adds up to a great evening.

London Sightseeing:
I've just realised I didn't actually post I the photos I took last Sunday.

It started the night before, when I parked the car in the street.



This allowed me to unwrap the car as dawn was breaking.



Thankfully, the road slopes downhill from my house, so I started pushing it before jumping in.

I then freewheeled down the road to a spot with less houses around before starting the engine.

It was only when I got close to town that I stopped to fit the GoPro.



As it turned out, I'd picked a nice spot to park.



Unfortunately, I did order a new Microphone with a longer lead, but I was sent the wrong one.

So this sight seeing video will have to be set to music when I get a chance to finish the editing.

Until next time, take care, Paul.
