Its bank holiday .. the sun is shining .. what are you up to

Post by hot66 »

For once the sun is shining on a bank holiday. Perfect weekend for getting out in the cars ( apart from all the bimbling tourists )

So whats everyone up to ? Any good lesser known events on ?

Obviously there is going to be an amazing 912 turnout at Stanford Hall and there is the Donnington Historic too

Still waiting for Autoglass to sort my windscreen out before I can use the car.

Actually a friend of mine posted this on instagram last night - might be of interest to some?

This Sunday/Monday is the annual village Scarecrow Festival in Uffington Lincolnshire. There’s no Pyramid stage or Kardashians but there’s an informal car/bike show, a good pub (@bertie_arms) and you may see @tomwookieford . Please bring an interesting vehicle to display - old or new welcomed. Car/tractor/bike/van. Spread the word...
