The Random Rideout Pictures

Random trip tp Boston, Lincs. Went from Northampton via Stamford and stopping at Spalding on the way. On the way back, stopped at a snack van and met a biker who was on the way from Corby to Grimbsy to see his dad who has COPD and double pneumonia. He said that it wasn't related to COVID. Let's hope that he finds his dad as well as can be expected.

Coming into Boston town centre

 

Some more.......

















Spalding (preferred Spalding to Boston)

 

Love the Langdales.

 

Edinburgh’s water supply mirror smooth on a bright, crisp morning.

 

Is it me.....or is there a shadow of Daffy Duck on the grass?

 

Errwood reservoir in the Goyt Valley between Buxton and Macclesfield

Then on to Jodrell Bank

 

Oyy! thats my spot if you don't mind.

 

More pics of that Ford, please.

 

Yes but I’m local. Checking the ravine to save the cost of disposal?

 

Here you go.

 

Wow! That thing is fantastic. What a beauty and the perfect color for it. Thanks for the quick reply, MM3.

 

No problem, any excuse to show off my pride an joy.
For those interested.
Cortina Mk3 Savage GT

Original Ford colour evergreen metallic.
One of only 4 Mk3 Savages known, only 2 on the road.
Originally owned by the Right honourable W, G. Barring (that's what the old green logbook says) of Barrings Bank. Owned by me for 20 years took 9 years to restore been on the road for 11.

 

You are right to proud of that work of art, my friend. It's really something special.

 

Don't be jealous Marky but here is my MK 111 after being hit by a post office van in Cardiff in about 1982 on the way to an England Wales rugby match.

 

Just back from a 4 day adventure through 5 of the 6 New England states with my son. First day was great, but rain the next two days and cold and foggy the last. Was able to get a couple of pics though.
1st; checking GPS coordinates in Mass.
2nd; Quiet little cemetery in New Hampshire, where my folks and little brother are buried
3rd; an interesting sign in Lynchville Maine. All those countries are actually towns in Maine
4th,5th,6th; some shots of the Presidential Mountain Range in New Hampshire. The 5th pic shows Mt.Washington hiding in the clouds. We were going to ride to the summit, but on this day, it was 17* and snowing at the summit, so we decided to wait 'til next year

 

On our way home, we crossed this

 

Wow, beautiful photos, Lee. I particularly like the one of the road with the horses in the background. Gorgeous fall colors! That bridge is amazing. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pics.

 

Original bonnet as well, i resprayed one years ago
