Showing off at Gaydon

Posted By : Michael Bird, 01-Nov-2005, 11:05pm

My company ran a conference at Gaydon Heritage Museum week before last and a colleague and I were kindly given dispensation to park our cars in the entrance to the conference centre! Still heady with all the delegates thinking it was part of the museum display I thought I would post a picture of my TR in it's moment of fame here! (Subtly cutting out my mates Sunbeam Alpine!). It completed the 200 mile round trip without [much] drama although it has used the fuel reserves of a small nation state in doing so! Thanks to anyone associated with Gaydon for allowing this!
Michael.

  Hey that's weird! Hadn't noticed it before! No it was parked in an alcove - the door glass makes it look wrong! C'mon if I was going to doctor the picture I might have 'air brushed' the rust out!

      Ok it's just me that thinks driving with the windows up and top down looks silly then.

        Stephen,
        I've never compromised on my own comfort worrying what other people think - besides frostbite will finish my aspirations of being a world famous guitarist! Anyway could be worse...could be driving a Spitfire.....

        I too think it looks daft to have the windows up with the roof down!
        The worst is when you have a passenger that thinks otherwise. You end up in the bizare situation where you have the drivers window down and the passenger window up!
