They certainly were cop cars. What was odd was I saw one yesterday and two today. Also yesterday a Jaguar XK150 with original red paintwork went by. I think this nice weather has brought a lot of classics out of hibernation.

Yo Bluestreak, next time you go Matlock way on a Sunday, forget lunch in Uttoxeter, make your way to the Ketch just the far side of Asbourne (Kniveton) Best ever sunday roast...trust me on that...Its spoilt everywhere else for me now.#

Right ho, making the best of the weather, me n mrs Sundance are off to the Raddle at Hollington for a little run and a wind down drink!
Car cleaned top down...this is what its about!

one run i was planning was to winnats pass in the hope valley......it is believed to be the remains of a collapsed limestone cave system which formed steep slopes either side of the pass...more recent investigation suggests it was part of a coral reef......may be other places of interest.....maybe monsal head........pictures below






The 3 images above are of winnats pass,.....monsal head below

Good piccies Bluestreak, I was hoping to hit the A5 from Llangollen to Holyhead sometime this summer, an awsome run through Snowdonia been a few years since I did this run and its on my to do list.

Back to the subject of local TF's and F's I parked next to a scrummy looking red TF 160 on our works carpark at JCB in Staffordhire, in excellent order with a trophy spoiler and a performance exhaust with quad pipes...So one more local driver on the list.
