Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
the weather post
Clocks sprung forward, the weather sprung back, tipping it down, blowing a hoolie and cold, could it be Easter is coming, all the campers are getting excited at pitching in the rain etc. I want to blast about in the B+. Looks like a day in the cave.

Another 140 miles clocked up, driving "quickly" around the North Cornish coast, some good roads and an excellent king crab luncheon :-) bit of a down side, lost my go-pro somewhere near Bodmin :-( as I hit the glyn valley I became aware of a noise, checked my gauges and looked for smoke, all going well, it turned out to be my old boss behind me in his XK120. Being followed by his mate in a Healey3000. As we hit Dobwalls and the dual carriageway right feet were firmly stomped but I had to concede I ended up third by the Tamar Bridge, only just mind, but it made my day, a very good Dutton day, I Want some more please, soon. 6 gallons of fuel and an expensive lunch. But, it was worth every penny. And I got a lot further then that scalextric bloke did :-))))
