This weekend it was the VBO meeting at Sywell Aerodrome. So it was time for a trip up in the Opel as I missed last years.

The Opel was fully put to its test on the way up due to an accident and road closure at Newbury and the usual great handling of the UK police! After a bit of a diversion down lots of back roads I finally made it to Leicester for a stop over! This time the alternator charged fully and I can definitely say that the Evans waterless coolant does it job as not only was I stuck in traffic for quite a while it was also a boiling hot day. We got to the edge of the red and no overheating, luckily I managed to pull over for a coffee and a break so she could cool down.

On Sunday it was a nice run down to Sywell and the perfect weather for the show. Lots of nice cars and quite a few A series there this year. I also managed to say a quick hi to Herman (H-400) as he was over from Belgium in his lovely 400!
