On nights like these ...... Mission: Ben Long's Thames Valley Meet
Forecast: low cloud, but no rain......
Looking at the sky told another story however...... After a little pondering, I decided to throw caution to the wind and head for Ben Long's Newbury Sevens meet.
2 miles from home I felt a light rain mist on my face (in an aeroscreened car, this feels like a acupuncture session applied with extreme prejudice !), and almost decided to scratch the mission !
Pressing on I took the motorway, as getting to a nice pint of Rin Tin Tin was the priority.
Approaching the pub, the sunset blasted through the clouds, casting an eerie , almost forest-fire like red-sky !
Arrived to find a few other hardy Seveners had decided to ignore the dark clouds, along with a very well prepared Ginetta G33 (http://www.g33.co.uk/). The Newbury meet always has some great cars, with TR 6's, Westfield 11's, A lovely Lotus 23 replica, and of course David's very cosseted Crossflow - possibly the cleanest in UK !! (Hi David !)
The ride back was a formation blast with me and Cannonball Bob flanked by Ben and 4 other outriders on their quad-bikes (those boys are nutters !!!) This sort of stuff almost makes going to work worthwhile (almost !!!!)
