This sounds like great fun, I wish I could go. I went to the UK for a
similar adventure in the summer of 1997, met Kelvin and Paul Hunt, went to
Abingdon, saw a lot of museums, parts houses, and met Syd and Malcolm Beer -
an MG nut's dream. Also satisfied my airplane interests by going to Duxford
and Shuttleworth - GREAT collections, and even got to see everything from a
Bristol Boxkite to a Hawker Hurricane fly at the Shuttleworth evening
flypast.
My trip was with a friend and fellow car nut, and therein lies the rub. I
had to swear that the next trip to the UK would include my WIFE, and that
SHE would have control over the itinerary. So I will have to be content with
my memories of the 1997 trip as I get dragged from stately home to art
museum and back...
Cheers
