Well Steve i tried! but i ended up with some burning brakes haha! i tried to chase an orange mclaren mp4c, needless to say i got left. also on going up some of the mountain passes the old girl was down to second gear without a hope of third. because we were away for 16 days we both had quite alot of clothes and i took quite a few tools also aswell as oil etc so she was pretty weighed down :[

Dave- Thanks for posting the beautiful pictures.

I will be heading over to Europe in September / October. My friend from Liverpool told me to go over towards Leeds to check out that part of England. Your pictures are inspirational. Thanks.

Steve - nice to meet you down at So Cal Vintage

Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing. I like the Opera house. Hell, I like it all!

[DaveBMX]

Thanks for the lovely comments guys! Joseph places up this way that you need to go are the yorkshire Dales, Harrogate and Knaresborough, The City of York and Whitby on the East Coast. Those are probably the gems of yorkshire. If you can get into the Lake District also i'd really recommend it!
