Taran Race Day
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.

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
Wandered a bit further south today, mostly to visit Le Corbusier´s Ronchamp Chapel “Notre Dame du Haut” But we saw some other quite interesting things on the way including some classic French cars in remarkably good condition.
Thought we’d cross the border today and visit Basel, in Switzerland. Left the MGF at the gite and took the train instead. I was accompanied by former New Millennium features editor Sarah Keen and her very knowledgeable aunt Jeanne. Camera: Canon Digital Ixus.
