Welcome 2016 Driving at last! - Go Karting and Old Somerset in Bracknell

First nice day of 2016 that was at the weekend at least. Go karting run and straight back under cover. Fitted the trafficator chrome trim whilst she was out though.

Today : Mostly Sunny
Conditions : Dry
Temp : 8°
Journey : Woodley and back
Distance : 13 miles

There has been A LOT of rain at the start of this year. But only slightly damp under the covers, so happy enough. Started with ease after a 3 week lay off in the cold and wet,so also another reason to be happy. Nice to get behind the wheel again!

Last night with some friends over we were looking at old pictures of the locality again. Found another Somerset in one of the pictures. This time driving down a main street in Bracknell. No worries about trying to recreate that scene though - it's all been knocked down and bulldozed now!



It's apparently a picture from 1962 and it's interesting how (I feel) the Somerset and the A35 going the other way look out of place already, compared to the sharper lined cars around them)
