What did you do for Drive It Day?

Recommended Posts

Had a decent run out in the 4A and an excellent, socially distanced pub lunch  https://wheatsheafperry.com  The Hunt household has taken the lockdowns seriously and I worked out that yesterday's was the longest journey since the 10CR in September 2019!

Pictures taken before departure and at Old Warden on a visit to the Shuttleworth Collection on the way home. Sorry, don't know why pics are upside down. They were saved the right way up but if I rotate them 180 degs and save again before posting they still end up this way. Clues anybody?

There was a problem with upside-down images on the old forum, too. It seemed to be connected with being taken on Apple devices - something about the CCD being inverted on them and the JPEG/EXIF data not being correctly adjusted. Normally, though, editing (in a non-Apple tool?) would fix it.

Thanks Rob, I wasn't aware of the Apple issue, this was first time I had posted pics taken on an IPhone. I've no idea how you managed to get that picture the right way up. In future I will use a camera if I plan to post a pic on the Forum!

Five of us from the Cheshire & Staffs group had a run across the border into Wales. 8-)

I would have attached a photo to this post but it keeps placing it upside down for some reason!!!!

Did'nt go out in my car, fitted new springs to the TR6 instead.....why does the TR range need to have 11 nuts undone to change a front spring? Small chassis cars need 5 undone, one of those just partially undone at that....appreciate the TR is a heavier and more tractor (!) like machine....but the front suspension is a pain!

65 mile circular route from Coventry to Henley to Studley to Alcester to Stratford.

Spotted a TR6 travelling in the opposite direction along the way.

Plan to go through Stratford and on to Caffiene & Machine abandoned due to traffic congestion at Stratford.

Took the A46 instead, then towards Gaydon and home via Fosse Way.

Nice drive out.

I had my Drive it day 24 hours early. Went to visit my mother in Bishops Stortford - thanks to Covid lockdown the first time I've seen her in over 6 months - 300ish miles round trip with no dramas 🙂 Here's hoping for many more equally trouble-free outings this year 🤞
