Bank holiday backroad blasting

It’s fair to say that I’ve put on more miles today that I did last year in TheHoff... and it was darn good fun. I decided today would be a good day to head south east in search of backcountry lanes and rack up some mileage. This car is way too good to sit my garage with other project cars getting attention.  Thankfully, I can pull the 944 out, fire it up and hit the tarmac. That exhaust note...  Anyway, TheHoff eventually found the coastline and having forgotten to take my passport (haha), I followed the signs to the Battle of Britain memorial - a place I’ve passed many times heading to the continent.  If you’ve not been here, it’s worth stopping by. It’s rather moving and on a clear day you can see France - which is rather poignant as that’s the direction from which our hero’s foes approached. All in all about 125 miles today which really cleared out any remaining cobwebs. Happy days.
