2015 at The Phoenix

After a complete washout last year things weren't looking good on route to the A30. Grey and overcast with rain in the air it cleared as I arrived. Parking up on the pavement behind a pair of muscle cars there were already more cars parked up than turned out last year.









Heading over the road I bumped into fellow car nut Nick and his wife and wandered along for a bit. The 1965 Monte Carlo Rally Reliant Sabre 6 the pick of the front carpark. One of six factory prepped cars that took on the snowy roads.







Back out on the main road every available piece of pavement was taken as were the central sections of the dual carriageway.















With a thin drizzle coming down I expected things to thin out, but still the cars rolled in, including this brave chap in his KTM X-Bow.







A few minutes later the air was filled with the chug of agricultural machines as the tractor club we saw late last year were out in convoy.







With my time running out before I needed to be home, I did a final walk round. The KTM now alongside a Sprite out the back.









Once again for the tenth year running I've started out at The Phoenix, lets see where the rest of 2015 takes me!

Steve.
