After some delays due to traffic, all the participating cars rolled into Forbes House, the SMMT's Headquarters in London, for a briefing from our tour guide before we set out for Trafalgar square. Nearly all of us had a few nerves about what laid ahead but this was definitely offset by the air of excitement. Spirits were high as we went over a few last minute details and the practical jokes started as a number of the teams tried to make me believe that their return air tickets had the wrong name on them!
As the clock rolled round to 4pm we jumped in the cars and set off on the first leg of our journey, cruising through Trafalgar square, then making our way to Harwich where we all convened for a substantial dinner before boarding our over night crossing to the Hook of Holland.
All was going well until the little Austin came to board. It was getting dark, the incline was steeper than they thought and sadly they caught the mid section of the exhaust damaging it quite badly!
