The day started at Magor services and with eight cars turning up, we set off to meet an MX-5 member from the Western region. At Gordano services we meet up with James and then headed towards Cheddar Gorge.

With a number of A and B roads to navigate, the inevitable wrong turning occurred and trying to turn 9 cars around on  busy roads is not the easiest thing in the world. The drive down through the gorge would have been fantastic with the roof down but the weather was against us so we headed on for the museum . 

The Haynes motoring museum at Stamford houses about 300 cars with the second hall being the most impressive it houses many makes of cars with one thing in common the are all painted red. If you like red cars then its motoring heaven. If you don’t, you still cant fail to be impressed with cars like AC Cobras, E-Type Jags, Ferraris and Lamborghini’s to name a few .  The third hall houses a display of modern sports cars with one of the scruffiest Eunos’ I have ever seen. The forth hall contained international classics and with five more halls containing  motor-sport, American and European displays the time soon went by.

We all meet back at the museum café before making our way back home.
