I found myself in Portsmouth one sunny afternoon, taking my new MGF in for yet more warranty repairs. Fortunately, I got rid of the wretched thing now! Anyway, back to the plot: to make a virtue of necessity, I decided to make a small detour and take some pix of the aging Tricorn Centre. Hailed…
Spent a very enjoyable day buzzing around France in the MGF. It seemed to like French roads, and actually managed to do a whole day without breaking down.
France – staying in an Alsatian gite and cruising around in the MGF. Today we went into Strasbourg, saw the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. Also saw some flamingoes and some rather friendly white Embden geese. Not to mention some rather randy white storks doing their thing.
Today we drove through France down to Strasbourg and arrived safely at the gite.

Old college friend and musician Duncan Avery came down to stay with me in Southampton for the weekend. While he was here, he asked me to take a few snaps in the attic studio. I gladly obliged.
I was invited to another Taran Microsytems race day. Today we were at the legendary Brands Hatch race track in Kent. I was particularly keen to photograph the Taran team Caterham 7’s again.
A little road trip across the New Forest, to Furzey and Rufus Stone in the MGF.
Decided to stop by St Cross, just outside Winchester, and take a few snaps.
Stopped to take a few snaps of the Christmas lights, Lyndhurst, in the New Forest.
I was invited to attend one of Taran Microsystems Caterham 7 race days. Today we were at Bedford Aerodrome. My kid brother joined me for the day as we drove up there in a new MGF roadster.
Driving back from Ireland in the little red MGF, via North Wales,through Holyhead and across the Menai Bridge, in the rain.
Today I left Northern Ireland, crossed the border into the Republic at County Monaghan.
I left my uncle’s farm in Brechfa, Carmarthen early this morning and drove the MGF to Fishguard. After a bit of a wait, I boarded a ferry to Rosslare, Ireland. It was a choppy crossing and cars moved about a bit on the car deck, where the MGF acquired a small dent.
A few snaps of both the old and the new Severn Bridges.
I was invited by Duncan Woods at Taran Microsystems to one of their Caterham 7 race days at a very wet and windy Brands Hatch, in Kent. Former New Millennium features editor Sarah Keen joined me.
Today we went sailing on the Solent with my old Friend Gibbsey and his wife.
I was invited by Taran Microsystems to attend and photograph one of its Caterham 7 race days at Castle Coombe in Wiltshire.
MGF makes a friend in France. 🙂 Camera: Canon Digital Ixus.
Wandering through the Saverne countryside in France, in Red MGF, testing new cameras. Did a bit of trainspotting too as the TGV passed through town. Cameras Olympus C2500L and Canon Digital Ixus.
Having already sampled quite a lot of the local beer, we thought we really ought to swing by Saverne’s local brewery for a few snaps. Unfortunately it was quite dark by the time we got there. And closed. But the floodlighting is quite good. Camera: Canon Digital Ixus.
Today we drove down to one of my favourite places, Le Corbusier´s strangely beautiful Ronchamp Chapel “Notre Dame du Haut”, France. Camera: Olympus C2500L
