Brands Hatch race day
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.

France testing new MGF and new Cameras
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.
Saverne Brewery
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.
Le Corbusier´s Ronchamp Chapel “Notre Dame du Haut”, France.
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
En route to Ronchamp Chapel
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.
Dabo
From a distance, perched high up on a hill, Dabo looks like an illustration form a children’s book of fairy tales. We spotted the place from 10 kilometres away a few days ago. So today, out of curiosity we drove the MFG up there to take a look, and to take a few snaps too….
Day trip to Basel
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.
France
Ran into some quite heavy rain today, as I drove around the Saverne countryside in the little red MGF, accompanied by former New Millennium features editor, Sarah Keen. Camers: Canon Digital Ixus.
