Thought I would post up some pictures from my car adventures/shows I've attended this year. Hope this is of interest.
Already got a few plans for 2012, hopefully starting with Retromobile in February and to do some hillclimbs/trackdays.
January.
To start off with, just after new year last year I bought this little beauty.Owned for most of its 37 years by the same woman, came with tons of history and only 50k on the clock. Even has the original sales receipt.
Monte Carlo Rally(Glasgow start.
