On Sunday we took part in the "Federation of Manx Historic Vehicle Clubs" Picnic run. This is normally held in Bob Ridings paddock in the North of the Island, but this year we had a change of venue. There were 80 cars from various clubs signed up for this event.
We congregated behind the TT Grandstand in the Parc Fermé area at 1pm, ready for a 2pm run to the picnic site location at King Williams College, in the South of the Island.
The award for loudest arrival was given to this:
Each car was given a set of directions to follow to take us in a roundabout route and see roads we may not have driven on before.
The site was still filling up when we arrived
The 'posh' end of the picnic site:
Picnic table took a bit of working out.... Nigel has built many a wardrobe.... [
]
but eventually....
It was a lovely venue and everyone enjoyed the picnic and admiring the great selection of cars that were on display.
Here's to next year.
