Amazingly the weather was not too bad with some long periods of excellent bright sunshine over the RAF Museum.
Despite cancellations due to mechanical problems, rust in the sills, last minute holidays and the like 51 people turned up on Drive it Day 2012. Twelve seniors, 32 adults and 7 under 17's. They came in 20 classic rovers, 3 modern cars and on public transport with 2 P6 owners using British rail and London underground to get there.
I am told the roast beef lunch in the Wing's restaurant was excellent. I just had a bowl of soup as I am still being a little careful after my recent holiday!
Below are some photos starting with "We're here" followed by "Outing to the RAF Museum which only shows some of the cars as I did not have a wide angle lens! So I have included after that individual photos of each of the wonderful Roivers that came along followed by "The shop" and "That nice little Mascot"
I had a superb day. Even lent out my screw drivers and got them back!
I hope everyone who came along enjoyed themselves.
Our next outing after our get together at 8pm at the Case is Altered on Tuesday 8 May is to the superb Enfield Pageant of motoring where we have a display stand for 10 cars on each of for Saturday and Sunday 26th and 27th May. Sunday is full ut there are still 3 places left on Saturday. If you want one of them (P6s only at Enfield) please contact me asap.
Best Wishes

P.S. I will shortly be booking next years Drive it Day outing but won't mention where it is on the forum in case some other club beats me to it and books it first! If I am successful next years drive it day will be a similar hard standing venue with a museum to go round if the weather is bad.
Here are the photos:
