"Hi Robert, After a miserable winter with Carb related issues, now have had a fun filled summer of motoring in Burbling Bertie the Bentley doing various shows and Brooklands Museum Events. Ran last weekend at Dunsfold (Top Gear Track) and had a good set of runway runs. Standing Start Mile with a terminal velocity of 93mph and had a VIP passenger for one of the runs as well.

Shere Hill Climb next weekend which should be nice and waiting for new windscreen from David Pearce so currently running in Low Drag Format!!!"
