One from the archive. In June 2006, the unique Cotswold Rail HST, led by power car No 43070, arrives at Telford working an excursion to York (which I then joined for a bash!)

Dubshire: VW Shropshire Owners Club

A chance meeting on the road on Thursday with a MK1 Golf led me to finding out about http://www.dubshire.co.uk/ and their evening get together of classic VW's at my local boozer. It was a no brainer not to take my old VW Corrado down for the bash.



There was a good turnout, everything from originak Mk1 Golfs through to Mk5's and even another VR6 Corrado....

I look forward to the next one and as a result of seeing the other motors am now eying up a coilover suspension kit. Oh dear..........

A day at the 100th Newport Show

A visit to the 100th Newport Show last Saturday saw a superb display of vintage and modern farm machinery and some nutters on bikes....






I was using my old EOS300D as my 20 is poorly, but with a new lens. Using a newer lens, I reckon there isn't much between them!

Back with batts refreshed....


I have just returned from a superb holiday on the Ionian island of Kefalonia and am looking forward to getting back to writing some engineering-related technical notes for Harper Adams University College. Outside of Harper, I am looking forward to seeing two articles get published in RAIL magazine.
The photo shows the view from one of the many super Tavernas we ate in. This particular one was in Sami on the Western side of the island and served a darn fine Kefalonian meat pie!
