As I went to Ollies GTG and MB world is in vacinity, I made the trip there with Pete (Igarisu) to meet Brian (BEJ). Brian, Ta for the Coffees.
Despite not having the shed, I had to use of my old mans car, a wee Toyota Rav 4 which was surpisingly good.
I really liked Petes car from getting a lift back from the GTG. Really comfy and a drop top, fantastic for the Hampshire sun.
Here they are
Here is me with what I should have access to....
I've always loved MB world, the mix of old and new cars, as well as special things always impresses me. However, the quality of the newer cars doesn't. A poke around a 212 reveals the AG ones have better seating for some reason, but you can see a nasty thin wire through the air vents which moves the slats, non carpeted spare wheels wheels and a paint defect on a new C coupe was the failure spotting.
The MB World successes.
This
and this
I just love the gullwing.
I really rate the F1 car suspended thing
This gives me nightmares, but it has a sense of humour that many of the displays don't have
. I'll link my album up, but these were the highlights.
Anyway, after this I decided to tour the Cotswolds. I had aimed to do this in the shed but its not fixed. The wee Rav 4 it was then. Cruising art 70 is fine in this car, a bit noisey, and not the best leg room, but what the hell, its 1x more working car than I have.
After an hour of driving up the M40 I came off at the Banbury turn and aimed for Chipping Norton. Driving through down is ace in this little car, great visibility and a 2litre turbo in something the size of a raised go kart makes it a doddle. It has about the easiest manual box I have ever driven. I dont often have to drive a manual, and thank god for that, but this makes it so ease. Only other car I found as easy for an auto lover was a MK4 TDI GT Golf.
I stopped off at a Villiage ten miles from Chipping Norton and ate this
Nom Nom!!!
Took a stroll and snapped this
And just for dieselman I found a Citreon C6 which I think would do him well
Lovely local church....
After passing through here, I aimed the little car for Stow on the Wold and then for the two Slaughter Villages and gave the little car a rest
Lovely part of the world actually
After this I took some back roads to Chipping Camden. Whats really good about the SUV car is the raised seating position that affords great views round corners. This car also has full time AWD and made it handle the bends reasonably well for something with such a high CoG.
Chipping Camden is one of the nicest Cotswolds Villages.
