New Years Day Run

Well we didn’t get far into 2010 before the Petrolhead itch struck. Somebody suggested a New Years day drive and before you knew it we were tucking into hangover breakfasts at the Ace Cafe and setting out to start the New Year in style.
A new member of the club joined us for the run down to the Phoenix Green “Weird and Unusual” car show, Mike and his white Audi R8. Also in the convoy were the usual suspects, F360, Viper SRT-10, BMW 130i, two Mazda MX5′s, Toyota Supra, Cosworth, Hawk Stratos and of course my Sebring SX. Our destination; the weird and unusual car show, at Phoenix Green.
Pete worked out an excellent route from the Ace avoiding the motorways as much as possible and Phoenix Green certainly lived up to the “weird and unusal” tag with a huge variety of fun, interesting, classic and, in some cases, quite frankly just odd vehicles which made everyone smile.
Someone mentioned Brooklands museum had a New Year car meet on too and we hit the road again for a quick blast up to the historic circuit. When we got there however we all decided we were too tight to pay a £9 entrance fee when we’d just had a great car show for free so spent the money on a pub lunch instead. It was a sunny but very cold day and I had the roof off so suggested one of my locals which I knew had a roaring open fire. The Kingfisher aren’t used to this kind of line up in their car park!
