Chiltern Hills Vintage Vehicle Rally 2015 

This year's Chiltern Hills Rally was bigger than ever, lots more Midget and Sprites made it along and the field was fuller than ever!

After another great start from Mike and Lorna's in Aylesbury, tea and coffee croissant and Danish set us all up for the day, we made our way in convoy to the site! Managing to all keep together on the main road thanks to a Stag that let all fie of us out. When we arrived at the event we met up with Matthew in his 1275 who had come the short distance from his home to join us. And very soon we were joined by a couple of other cars that joined us for the first time.

It was also the first outing for the newly delivered Home Counties Midget and Sprite club banner! The only problem is we were right in the middle of all the clubs and our banner was swamped by all the others around us! I suppose it is like our cars - small and perfectly formed.

A good day was had by all!

Chiltern Hills Vintage

Vehicle Rally - New Venue

A cracking day in the sunshine at the new venue for the Chiltern Hills Vintage Vehicle Rally. The event has been held in Aston Clinton for the last 20 odd years, but this year the new venue on the other side of Aylesbury, on the Weedon Road was chosen. Better access and much more space being the biggest advantages. The sunshine was a bonus.

We returned the Best Club Stand cup from last year and didn't even park in straight lines this year so no chance of winning! Plus our 'stand' had a 911 and a Lotus on it. However Steve and Elaine's dog, Ruby, won a rosette in the dog show despite getting an oil patch in the middle of her back before her big moment!

A great fun day and some red cheeks on the way home!
