Last minute Cruise

Well the sun was shining so it seemed rude not to! While many were already busy for the evening, myself, Peach, Steve and Lee decided we'd blow the cobwebs away with a nice evening drive. Peach and I headed out from Madeley along country lanes out to where we were all meeting, which was at the Monkey Park at Trentham gardens. Lee and Steve joined us there having driven up from Stone. After Peach had tried some Starsky and hutch style driving on the car park we parked up and took a few photographs, and Eben Milward inspected all cars for cal-look correctness. 

After passing with only a few advisories (to quote Eben: Jamie - this thing is slower than my Thomas the Tank engine ride on; Peach - Bumpers... wtf, get some nerfs on this thing; Lee - Bling, this ain't the hood; Steve - a bus??? Come on dad, really? wtf), we headed on down to the three Crowns pub in Stone, where we parked up and enjoyed an ice cold drink. 

John Parton headed down in his T5 to say hi and drown some of his sorrows (his 2276 Oval has persistent engine trouble!), and we talked cars bench raced and finally called it a night. As with any evening out with cars it was not entirely uneventful, with Peach's car suffering a few very minor teething troubles (loose wires and other small items to add to his to-do list), and Lee's Ghia getting a little too warm. Still it takes miles under the wheels to iron out issues. On the way back to camp we stopped off (i.e. broke down) by the railway tracks to take some more pictures. Here are a few of those taken. HAPPINESS IS A HOT VW!
