A handful of pre-war cars, then a few from every decade. There were just two of us with sevens, an A35 saloon, A35 van, an A40 mk 2 Farina, and nearly a dozen Maestros and Montegos. I think there were three Morris Minors. No 1100s.
Just to make it clear, driving my Ruby was not a disappointment, it was the car show that was a bit disappointing.
The Ruby was a delight to drive. After 5 months off the road for crash repairs I'm just getting back into the way of it. Fifty miles yesterday and thirty today.
Also, it definitely seemed to have a little bit more power on the way home today. Does a gentle sprinkle of rain make the difference? I think it does.
