Back in Germany

Very nostalgic, and a lovely colour scheme. It may be a late summer before it has its first customers.

I have been rather dilitary in keeping this thread alive and apologise for that. Of course once I eventually fall of my perch it will naturally fall into a "no update" situation.
We had a Mini North West Meet that developed into a Midlands Gathering at Crich TramwayMuseum. Lovely sunny weather, very pleasant company, followed by dinner at Biggin Hall Hotel. They make us so welcome there.
The next day I drove a five day tour to Blackpool which included two day excursions; one to Bowness in Windermere and one to Boundary Mill at Colne.
Then on the Saturday I drove a private party for a day trip to York.
Now today I have managed to bring a four day hallucinations tour to Blackpool. Two excursions again, tomorrow Fleetwood market and Sunday 22:00 trip around the lights.
Next Sunday the 18th I am scheduled for a six day Tenby tour but that might be cancelled with the current surge in Covid.
Just be aware of a 14 mtr coach approaching!!!!!!

Given your relentless energy, Ray, I think there's every chance you'll be the last man standing here.

So what the heck is an hallucination tour?

It's for people who are old enough to remember the sixties, but obviously don't! Like me.....

So it's some kind of wild drugs fest then?

The collection of atoms I like to call 'me' were doing something else until 1970, so I missed the 60s unfortunately. I don't know a lot about that decade but I'm told most of it involved sex and drugs.

I've no idea what you're talking about.
This is what Ray was referring to: https://www.visitblackpool.com/thing...illuminations/
Though the experience could probably be enhanced...……

Well done those men!!!
Blackpool Illuminations it is.


When my kids were young at illumination time I'd ask them if they wanted to see the lights. Off course they did so I would load them up in the car and drive up to Rivington Pike and say "There they are". OK, some 30 plus miles away, but they could see them.


The bar and entertainmednt at the hotel shuts down at 22:00 due to Covid which means that they start earlier. This means I can only reasonably do the lights at 22:00 but of course another problem arises, they are being switched off at 23:00 on Sunday. I will have an hour to do the full run. It will be the fastest lights tour ever, if the traffic lets me.

I thought it was a reference to the (in)famous Blackpool illuminations
