Who saw BBC Top Gear last night?
The best thing they’ve done (according to Freddie Flintoff) is driving around Cumbria in a classic car.
What would you like to drive on our fabulously scenic roads?
Dad car, hot hatch, grand tourer... 🤔

Hopefully some of these will be leaving hibernation for some summer fun this year 🤞

Pinch,punch first of the month!

October 1st is the first day of winter hibernation for many a classic car as their owners SORN them before the evil gritters come out.

But don’t leave your classic to deteriorate on the drive ☝️ drop us a line instead to arrange dry storage at reasonable prices.

No tax? No problem, we can collect your with a trailer if needed from anywhere in Cumbria 👍

That last post got me thinking 🤔

Look at some of the super cool "youngtimers" that are now road tax free in the UK.

Kinda makes me feel old...

If you are lucky enough to own something like this, or are thinking about buying a classic but worry that you haven't got garage space then PM us about dry storage.
We can keep your car under cover for the winter for the same price as you used to pay for road tax 👍

This is one of the many upsides of owning and driving a classic car. I don't get tired of receiving these reminders 👌

This is ab-so-lutely epic. What a stroke of opposed piston triangular genius.
Even the name... Napier Deltic... is phenomenal.

This is why we need engineers. Engineering digs us out when we need it!

Today's engine, the Napier Deltic was commissioned during WW2 by the Royal Navy to power it's Motor Torpedo Boats. It consists of 3 cylinders in a triangular... 32 comments on LinkedIn

Giving the 'hatches' a winter warm through before storm Ciara hits!

It is a good idea to routinely:
- Run the engines up to temperature
- Check the fans cut in and out
- Roll the car back and forth to spread grease through the wheel bearings.
- Check tyre pressures are OK for storage

Tucked up under their covers and back on trickle charge now 👍
It'll soon be spring...
