Was at Cragside in Northumberland the other week.It is the 1st home in the world to be powered by electricity).
Heres a few pics:-

 

Nice pics.....bet that place cost a pretty penny.

 

Man, you just don't see that type of architecture over on this side.

Nice pic! Kids looked like they had fun.

 

Man case and point why I'm going to europe one time before I die!

 

Go at this time of year and it is cheap. Get round trip flights for about $400 if you look hard enough. I never go in peak times.

 

Yes Cragside is a great day out....
Due to the weight of the solid marble fireplace (where the Queen stayed on her visit....cant remember which queen though) it had to be built on solid rock foundation...

I'm so envious of you Buck. You get the cranberry interior, the quad-exhaust, the great trips, and awesome car meets. LOL!

 

Yeah, me too...I'd love half the stuff he's able to do...although I have bbc now so I'm feeling quite a bit better!

They just had a motorhome that dropped this car out of it's side! It was sweet but it was like 750k pounds...screw that! And that was w/out the car!

Saw them tear up a run way with a bmw m5 estate and mercedes estate...

Yep, its the start of the Jag season.

Then the end of the month the XJ220 is coming to my local club meet (10mins drive away)
Then Bank Holiday Monday 5th April is the clubs drive around Northumberland (coastal route famous castles like Alnwick where they filmed Harry Potter).
And to top it all theres a 5* country hotel the night beforethat which includes dinner bed and breakfast for only £30pppn (special price for our Jag club) and includes swimming pool,sauna,etc. So taking the wife for the chance to treat her as she deserves it.
Then in June its the 7 day trip to France andon the way back its Britains biggest Jag event at Newby Hall,Harrogate on the (2nd) day I drive back from France.
