Diary

Prep, breakdowns, ferries and border crossings — written up as we go.

Camera testing

Seventeen days to go, and a 360 camera that needs to earn its place before we ask it to work in a 1953 car for six days.

T minus 21...

To Malvern for Car Club Fest, to meet TS2 for the first time — and to drive her 120 miles home to Dorset.

Asking to borrow a national treasure

A hands-free phone call, a keyboard sitting unattended in front of me, and a dangerous idea. One email to the office, and no way back.
