Fellow listers,
Once again, the wife and I will be travelling from the US to England for a 
too brief holiday in early November.  In exchange for visiting numerous 
drafty castles and such, I will be allowed to hit upon a few automobile 
related venues.  We will be landing at Manchester and generally heading north 
from there into Scotland until we return to Manchester for the flight home.

Can any of you fervid LBC'ers give me some good tips on automotive places to 
visit?  The last time we did this (2 years ago) a number of you including 
Daniel 1312, Skip T, Guy W, Ian, and others had some great suggestions (which 
even the wife enjoyed-except for Frontline Spridgets in Bath, because I 
bought a load of stuff for my Bugeye/Frogeye vintage racer).  We are renting 
a car, so are free to move about without regard to fixed itineraries.  I 
asked for a new MINI ( used to race a 970S and owned many street minis) but 
the hire agent said none were yet available, or didn't know what they are!

Any tips on must see pubs, racetracks, or other cool stuff also appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Gross
60 Bugeye Vintage racer and previous owner of many street and race Minis.
