<div dir="auto">Actually, Daniel, it was 2015 and we had just driven from Cambridge after getting a puncture fixed by a very nice AA gentleman on a Bank Holiday. This put us late in Warwick and our lunch at the Cape. I even operated the canal lock for a strikingly attractive women traversing England solo. It was here we were going to attempt to meet up with you but you had prior commitments. Kenilworth was on my list but it were closed. We stopped at every F1 works. Haas actually let us in as they had just moved. We put on 2600 miles from OxBridge, Silverstone, Bletchley Park going out to Land's End, of course Perranporth and Trebah and every auto museum(Gaydon had me near tears with all the automotive history) and RAF base in between. Timed it for Beaulieu Autojumble and Goodwood 3 days before the Festival. Great time wish I could have brought back some Doom Bar ale!! Much better than Old Speckled Hen. Hmmm, I think it might be time for another trip!<div dir="auto">Daniel, anymore books in the works?</div><div dir="auto">Be well. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Dave W</div><div dir="auto">'59 :()</div><div dir="auto">'59 MGA 1500</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">"Pay It Forward"<br><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jun 17, 2024, 4:26 AM Weslake1330 via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Well there is Winner to my surprise - Dave Woerpel who hasn't visited it.

So if anyone has time on their hands and google at their fingertips they might want to work out what the castle is and what the connection is.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Daniel</div></div>
