It was super day out with old Numbum on this well organised event by the guys and gals of Middlesbrough Motor Club. It was up to their usual high standard.
We thought we were early when we arrived at the clubhouse but there were quite a few cars there already. We signed on and had our free coffee & biscuits before wandering about looking at the cars and chatting. I think there were 29 cars entered and some motorcycles and I managed to get some photos before setting off.

It was good to see three T Types among the more modern cars.
With wall to wall sunshine all the way round but a bit chilly on the hilltops it was a glorious run in some stunning scenery. We had planned to get some pictures of the other cars but after stopping for about 20 minutes and only seeing one go past we thought that most must be in front of us so we moved on again. On our arrival at the finish we were surprised to find that there weren't many back. I don't know where the rest were, probably having coffee & cake somewhere.
The barbeque was going well and we tucked in to burger, sausage, roast potatoes, and coleslaw. It was very welcome and delicious too.
All in all, a great day. The TA ran well apart from a slight misfire at the start which fixed itself as we went along. There was an oil leak from the rocker cover gasket which ran onto the exhaust and created a bit of smoke and tightening it didn't do any good so we lived with it.

The new GPS speedo worked well. It goes through a start up sequence every time it's powered up which is a bit of a pain but we'll get used to that.
There were a couple of comments about it being a tad optimistic showing 200mph. I just smiled.
