A late autumn Convert



Autumn is my favourite season. Out with the woolly jumpers and corduroys and enjoy the changing colours whilst driving your vintage car along leafy lanes. Digby had two friends staying – he would take one in his Deemster and I would take the other in my Bullnose Morris. How gracious of Neil to allow me to take his girlfriend Rachel in my car while he and Digby followed in the Anzani-engined racer. While they warmed their engine, I took a few photographs of the early Sunday shadows. Rachel was a little camera-shy at first, but soon warmed to the occasion and her sunny smile made the picture. I think we may have a convert to vintage motoring.

The boys roared off into the distance and I did my best to keep up, so my on-board photos were rubbish, but we enjoyed a few miles and filled our lungs with clean fresh air before returning to base and putting the cars away ready for next time. I noticed Rachel brought out her own camera and was not surprised at learning which was her favourite car.

You should try the Lamborghini and Ferrari Clubs, Frazer. Perhaps prewarcars aren't where they're at ?

More girls like this, Robin, need to be attracted to our hobby (no pressure!).
Not only because of their beauty, but to allow a more balanced club atmosphere than 'lads with rags'.

Great stuff Robin, and whilst you may have struggled to keep up with the Deemster the two seater Bullnose is no slouch either. Didn't William Morris compete successfully in trials with a car similar to yours in the early twenties?
