The Great Lockdown Break-out!

Postby davidr » Wed Apr 28, 2021 12:44 pm

So what has everyone been doing since lockdown was eased and we were allowed out? Is it the first time your XJS has been out for a while? Where did you go and what did you see? Did you take part in Drive It Day?
As you can probably tell I'm looking for pieces for the magazine! What I'd ideally like to do is fill a page with your pictures of your cars as you've taken advantage of our new freedoms. A picture and an explanation of where you were would be great!
Of course, we can start it off here
Best wishes

Hi David

Gave the car a good run up to the Cat & Fiddle (A537) between Macclesfield and Buxton. Stopped to admire the view and stock up in the shop - the old Cat & Fiddle pub is now run by the Forest Distillery. They sell their range of gin and whisky, as well as great wine and snacks. The inside dining opens on 17th May....

Great to be back out driving the damn thing, rather than just fixing it!

Well done Andy - that's just the sort of thing I'm looking for!
Anyone else?

Thanks Tris - that's a bit less picturesque than the view across the channel from the Isle of Wight!

Not the best location I know, but it was the only stop we made on a round-the-island drive! :lol:
