We've moved so far in 60 years!
Sunday's forecast looked great and I fully expected Hartside to be busy with bikers and other enthusiasts. Love to head out and see what's happening (ex bikers Steph and I) and of course the road is fabulous and one of our favourites. Really surprised by so little traffic though - maybe because we headed out at lunchtime. Certainly a long queue in the café - perhaps they were all in there!

Beautifully cool Boxster Spyder in the carpark as well as Herbie!

But the biggest contrast had to be the Daimler Dart which turned up and parked near us - 60 years of motoring development but quite advanced for it's time - fibreglass body, small 2.5 litre V8. Immaculate interior and a very friendly owner willing to let me know all about it - lovely looking engine.

Steph had her usual try at capturing just how enjoyable a drive it is on the camera but she gave up on our return from Melmerby - feeling a bit ill looking at the screen - good job we get plenty of fresh air in the Roadster

Surprisingly good day paddy - really thought the road would be far busier - we were lucky I guess.
Absolutely - some very nice metal - a group of Nissan GT-Rs at Hartside

It's so hard to show in photos (or videos) what it's like - the bends, the change in elevation and the views plus lots of other vehicles out enjoying the road - great atmosphere.

Yep - my brother in law drives his Lotus all the way up from Cambridge to come drive them with us. He says it's worth the time and effort

Cherrym knows these areas better than anyone and I think he's met nearly everyone that's had their roof motor movedStuartt wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2017 11:24 pmCame up in October with Smartbear to get our roof motors moved by Dave then Cherrym took us for a hoon out to Hartside and back, fantastic made the 700 miles more than worthwhilepaulgs1000 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2017 11:15 pmYep - my brother in law drives his Lotus all the way up from Cambridge to come drive them with us.

Those Darts are so ugly that they are completely appealing! Lovely engine.

Absolutely Nick - took the morning for the roads to dry out in Newcastle but after that bliss
Just how I feel about them - look like three designs melded together Same engine as used in the Daimler version of the Mk2 Jaguar.
