Quick pic from today from my phone taken by Alison:
We had a great day out with very good weather. Alison and I offered to navigate for Rich, a decision he might have regretted as we sailed off down the wrong road near Headcorn....... It was soon corrected though and after that we didn't lose our way at all. It turned out that my intercom was set up with voice control on the passenger headset. I had switched this off on the driver side after Kenton complained
of me broadcasting engine noise, but never thought the default setting would be ON for the passenger. Sorry Rich, I sorted it when we got home
Here's a picture at the start:
It was very well organised, each car had a numbered bay. We had a good laugh when the two Ferrari Testarossas arrived as they were next to each other and the cars were the same size as the bays.
A very pleasant and warm drive to Lenham where we stopped for tea/coffee, thanks Richard
Then onto the lunch stop at Eastwell Manor Hotel, where we had an excellent roast dinner.
The grounds were an ideal place to park up and I couldn't resist a few pictures
of the SKCC cars in exotic company:
After lunch more great roads. We were behind a left hand drive very wide Testarossa that looked to be too big for
Kent lanes and made oncoming cars take to the hedges a couple
of times, but that gave us more chance to take in the views and Alison could take her time on the route
After a petrol stop in Wadhurst, it was a quick run back to Tonbridge for photo opportunity at the castle and a nice cream tea.
Good to see you all, and thanks to the Tonbridge Lions and James for organising the day in a very good cause.
