Saturday Event

I'm organising a trip to the Gaydon Heritage Motor Museum which is about 20 mins up the M40 from KS this Saturday 29th March.(which is Dad's birthday)

It will be a great trip down memory lane for those of us who began our motoring in the 20th Century!
I went up to recce the place for loo/restaurant/stair/car-park facilities and it is a first class day out.
A family ticket is £28 otherwise it's £9 a head. Dad, Mum and I will be a family.
Ford now own it not BMC/Rover, so there are marques apart from the Cowley and Longbridge efforts.
P.s. As you now know Land Rover and Jaguar have been sold to TATA, a well known Singhalese Motor Lorry firm!

For instance how big would you say the engine out of a Model T Ford is in cc's?
What about 2800cc or nearly 3litres!

Grandpa Morgan had one of these!


and as a toddler I managed to reach forward and remove the ignition key while we were going along. Well it was dangling in the middle of the dash.. jingling away!
