Mathew Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 There was i parked in baldock services and look what parked up. I was curious, and they happened to go to the same place as me in Huntington ! Was a bit busy for me there so made my way back home. Really nice drive out, covered about 125 miles which is more than i did for the whole of last year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteH Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Seem`s logical. After all there are (far) more risks in Tesco or Aldi?. What "amuses" me is the fact that "they" can fight over the frock racks in the High st, without a thought for "social distance". But 2 guys cannot sit at a table in a Pub and have a quiet pint!.

Colin Lindsay Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 News today is that scientists are pushing for a complete lifting of all Covid restrictions by June 28th. Here's hoping! In the meantime, I hit the North Coast this morning, very early start and breakfast from a forecourt deli; met only one classic which happened to be a gold-coloured TR7 convertible short of Dunluce Castle - all I got was a stony stare through enormous dark shades. Other than a few ancient Italian-style scooters in Bushmills there were no other Classics at all. Scenery was great, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerguzzi Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hello All Me and the Memsahib had a run out on our own and stopped to look a bridge then All these Triumphs turned up but we gave them the cold shoulder and drove off but the buggers followed us and I did my best to loose then on the scenic run but I must be getting slow? Then it turns out they had bought a picnic like us!!! so we obviously ignored them again! Then some of the buggers followed us to a nice café for cake and coffee!! Riff Raff ?
