    Drive it (Not) Day 2020

    Today should have been Drive it Day, organised by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs.
    Obviously no-one is going anywhere save for essential shopping trips and/or legitimate trips to work, so it seems apt if nobody minds that I show my current stable poised like coiled springs waiting to take to the roads once again when circumstances permit.



    Anyone else care to share?

    L to R:
    Rochdale Olympic, reg date 1960 but reworked. 1850 MGB Derrington (?) engine, Sierra 5-speed box.

    A hidden classic - Land Rover Discovery Series I 300 ES. Ticks so many boxes that I can live with the space-rocket modernity.

    1953 Riley 2˝ litre RMF saloon. Timber frame covered with pressed steel panels. The worst of both worlds!

    Our two Škodas are fueled up and ready for action. I'll spare you the photo.

    Lovely motors, unc.

    Cool!

    What models do you have? My first car was a S110R

    Believe me, ours are nothing to write home about. I wish I still had my Volvo 240GL Estate but I let a mate have it when we went overseas and the git won't give me it back.




    I found this languishing in a garage in Caracas in mid-2017, sadly there haven't been many chances for driving for pleasure in Venezuela for a few years now.

    Cool MG; always fancied one of those, or a Y-type.

    I ordered from Dragonflies a 2020 Goin' Nowhere rally plaque but it hasn't arrived in time for DiD. I will have to get a bit retrospective with some photos when it does turn up. The profits from the plaque are going to the NHS fund.

    Whilst not a classic, this thread prompted me to take my Caterham out of the garage and run the engine for the first time this year. I've owned from new in 2007 and it's only done 14,500 miles. Doesn't look like I'll be increasing my average annual mileage this year...
