The Story of the Motor Car

A British driver once again raised the Land Speed record when, in

1947, John Cobb drove his  " Railton Special " at an average speed of

394.196 mph on the Salt Flats of Utah, U.S.A.

This machine can be seen in the City of Birmingham " Think tank "

or when my Dad used to take me " The Museum of Science and Industry "

The First run of 2013 for the Warwickshire Section.

This year I took the Executive decision to  get rid of my old  computer ( according to some people it was an antique ) And so   I give you my first post using my new laptop, BUT  surely  I cant be the only person pulling their hair out while trying to get to grips with Windows 8 can I?
Please find for your enjoyment some images from our 2013 Spring run, a pleasant route of some 42 miles starting in Kenilworth and ending at the Horse and Jockey public house near Atherstone.
We were very lucky with the weather it being dry and sunny, however some of the narrow lanes
still contained large frozen Snow drifts in the more exposed landscape of the route.

One machine that brought praise and admiring glances was this 1964 TRW 
owned by Bob Wisdom and recently restored with the help of Dave Sketchley.
This particular machine is an original bike  once owned and used  by the Royal Signals Display team the ' White Helmets'
