Drive it Day 2025

On my weekly 30 mile bike ride this morning I saw three MG cars from the sixties, and my friend out in his fifties Land Rover. This afternoon we took the seven to Wetherby to listen to the band, and had a quick trip to Knaresborough Castle for a photo.

That's an impressive looking very late Ruby (EKF 62) - must be one of the best there is.

It's better in the flesh!

Nice pictures by Bob
Thanks Bob.

We had fun around the lanes of South East Cornwall.
The Rosengart was a bit slow uphills but managed 40 to 45 mph on the level.
I was tail end and had to drop into first gear a few times as the Rosengart struggled with the steeper climbs.
Plenty of lane driving with grass up the middle to clean the oil off the underneath.
We had to pull over at on point to let a Field Marshall past with about 20 other tractors following through the lanes.
The tractors were all types and ages including some really huge modern ones.

We missed you Bob!

Sunday morning was very wet up here, turning to windy in the afternoon with showers, so
did my drivers day today (Monday).
A run down to Strichen for a bacon butty followed by a run back into Fraserburgh to the
lighthouse museum. Well worth a visit if you are up in this corner of Aberdeenshire.

We did the Borders Vintage Automobile Club's Drive It Day outing Yesterday from St Boswells via a circuitous route going through Maxton, Ancrum and Hawick. We then went along side roads through Buccleuch and Traquair to Peebles finishing at Barony Castle Hotel and the Polish Map of Scotland. That was about 60 miles with about 30 miles home at the end.
The car was running very well but was popping and backfiring on the overrun all the way, gradually getting louder.
A good day out with my daughter Emma.

Not a 7 (I hope it is allowed this time) but still Drive it Day and the first run this year for Ms Triss. Of course Drive it Day became Push it Day right after this picture was taken. (Push start and we made it home safely)

The Sheffield Group of the PWA7 club had superb 40-mile 'Drive it Day' run around the Peak District - in memory of the redoubtable George Astell, who organised so many runs in the past and was a great supporter of the Group. Perfect weather, great company and my family able to share another 7.

I went to the Bicester Scramble, but haven’t put the engine back in the Austin yet and anyway there’s a dead Alfa Romeo Spider parked in front of it, thanks to those legendary Italian electrics) so wafted down there in the modern.

Apart from an RN, a couple of tourers an Opal and a plethora of Ulster and Gordon England type specials, the only Austin that really rang my bell was this lovely old 16 (well, I think it’s a 16) not highly polished, with glittering running gear just a lovely old car..by that way that Ruby Duncan posted is divine…
