Good story Mart. I keep looking in the Netflix series "Midsomer Murders" for your vehicles.

Yes, love stories like this, reminds me of the many trips I made in my Yuute that didn't go very well, but we survived. I son't mind the words, my text to speech reader sound just like you.

That was a real adventure well told Mart. Enjoyed the video as well. Looks like a nice smooth track but a little short on traction at times.

Sure looked like your white Ford pickup at the 1:58 mark in this video too.

^^ Yeah, Ralph, you're right! I never noticed that one. That was my 33 coupe, just before, too, No. 47.

Chuck, yeah, Vintage Hot Rod Association. Lots of fours running.
Some info here:
http://www.vhra.co.uk/VHRA/Pendine_Sands.html

Browse the site and google Pendine vhra and lots of good stuff will pop up.

Thanks all for the kind words.

Mart.
