Out in a Morgan, Mike?

Yes, a red one...
As I’ve bored everyone by telling previously, my first visit to this event was as riding mechanic to Jack Sears in his amazing 8 litre ‘Forrest Lycett’ Bentley Special. It was a fantastic early morning trip in August sunshine, and will never be forgotten... The event is everything you say, Bob, but with the added ‘ecentricity’ that only clubs like BDC and VSCC can produce!
